Half of Spaniards say they are concerned about the impact of inflation on their financial well-being

MADRID, 9 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

70% of Spaniards admit that they are concerned about not being able to afford a comfortable retirement, a percentage that is eight points above the European average (62%), according to Intrum's 'European Report on Consumer Payments'.

According to the study published this Wednesday, Spain is among the 10 countries most concerned about their retirement, in a list led by Portugal (79%), and above France (60%), Germany (58%), the United Kingdom Kingdom (57%) or Italy (55%).

The report carried out by Intrum reveals that 73% of those surveyed in Spain fear that inflation will reduce their cash savings, a response rate that is two points above the European average (71%).

"In recent months, the general increase in prices has also made daily life more expensive, which, on many occasions, translates into greater financial stress for citizens," the study noted.

In this sense, more than half (51%) of those surveyed for the report in Spain indicate that the concern caused by the increase in the cost of invoices is having a negative effect on their financial well-being. This percentage is 10 points above that registered in 2021, which would reflect that the population pays more and more attention to this aspect.

However, the Spanish percentage is 7 points below the European average (58%). The report carried out by Intrum indicates that, of the 24 countries analyzed, Greece (78%), Latvia (71%) and Portugal and Poland (70%) are positioned as those in which the most inhabitants are most concerned. By contrast, at the other extreme are Norway (47%), Denmark (46%), and the Netherlands and Switzerland (45%).
