OREANDA-NEWS. Residents of Poland began to seriously save, according to the research center ARC Rynek i Opinia.

Thus, more than 30% of respondents had to cut their daily expenses in order to have enough money for a month, another 25% say that due to rising prices they do not have enough money even for basic expenses.

To save the budget, 38% of Poles refuse to visit restaurants, and 35% have limited themselves to using a car due to high gasoline prices.

Another 38% of citizens reported that they began to save less money, 13% stopped saving money altogether.

In addition, 18% refused to take a previously planned loan, and 26% admitted that they plan to pay off their debt to the bank as soon as possible, as they fear that interest rates will continue to rise.

According to ARC Rynek i Opinia representative Adam Czarnecki, there are two types of behavior among consumers. The first, dominant, is the restriction of consumption. The second type of conclusion is to increase consumption on the principle that it is better to spend money than to wait until it depreciates further.

The survey was conducted from 4 to 11 May among residents of Poland aged 18-65 years.
