Kondycja gospodarstw domowych

Abstract

In the 4th quarter of 2017 the sentiments of Polish households improved. The IRG SGH consumer confidence indicator (IRGKGD) hit record high, and amounts to -2.4 pts now, 5.3 pts up from the 3rd quarter's figure. The rise was mainly due to better assessments of expected general economic situation and unemployment in Poland. Better assessments of future financial standing of households and their increased ability to save contributed to the increase to a lesser extent. Therefore, a high growth rate of actual individual consumption should be expected to follow in the coming quarters.(original abstract)
