Notes: Weighted estimates. The median is computed on the basis of a symmetric linear interpolation that accounts for rounding of responses. Mean values are winsorised at the 2nd and 98th percentiles of each survey round and country. Numbers on household spending and household net income represent expected and perceived annual percentage changes.

Household net income expectations over the next 12 months

In the qualitative question, respondents are asked: “Over the next 12 months, what do you expect will happen to your household’s total net income (that is after tax and compulsory deductions)?” The possible responses are “Increase a lot”, “Decrease a lot”, “Increase a little”, “Decrease a little” and “Stay exactly the same”.

The open-ended (quantitative) question reads: “By about what percent do you expect the total net income of your household to increase/decrease, during the next 12 months?”

Household spending perceptions over the previous 12 months

In the qualitative question, respondents are asked: “Compared with 12 months ago, what do you think has happened to your household spending?” The possible responses are “My household spending increased a lot”, “My household spending decreased a lot”, “My household spending increased a little”, “My household spending decreased a little”, and “My household spending remained exactly the same”.

The open-ended (quantitative) question reads: “How much higher/lower do you think your household spending is now compared with 12 months ago?” If a “Don’t know” answer is selected, respondents can provide answers in bracketed ranges.

Household spending expectations over the next 12 months

In the qualitative question, respondents are asked: “During the next 12 months, how do you expect your household spending on all goods and services to compare with your spending in the past 12 months?” The possible responses are “My household spending will increase a lot”, “My household spending will decrease a lot”, “My household spending will increase a little”, “My household spending will decrease a little” and “My household spending will remain exactly the same”.

The open-ended (quantitative) question reads: “By what percent do you expect your household spending on all goods and services to change during the next 12 months compared with your spending in the past 12 months?” If a “Don’t know” answer is selected, respondents can provide answers in bracketed ranges.
