Inflation continues to be one of the top concerns for people across Europe. In Q4, people in Estonia, Germany, Austria, the UK, Ireland, and France reported higher levels of concern about rising prices compared to the European average. Meanwhile, people in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Lithuania seem to be a bit less worried about inflation.
🌍 Despite the challenges, there’s still plenty of optimism. Overall, most Europeans say they feel positive - or at least somewhat positive - about the future.
Interestingly, even though more than half believe things are heading in the wrong direction in their own country, optimism still outweighs pessimism across the region. Danes, Latvians, and Estonians are among the most optimistic, while people in France, Italy, and Sweden tend to feel a bit less positive.
