Cetelem: Hungarian consumers are pessimistic, but they are planning despite pessimism

The Hungarian customers are among the pessimistic customers in Europe, but this is not supported by market trends, as according to the central bank’s figures, last year, 60 percent more personal loans were used by customers than a year earlier, and this suggests that people are planning despite pessimism and start to realize their ideas – the survey of the Hungarian Cetelem Bank (MCB) revealed.

According to the data of Cetelem’s panorama of 2017, which was described by MCB to MTI; while the Europeans’ being has been the best now in the past ten years, the Hungarians are judging their country’s situation and their individual prospects more pessimistic than the average. At the same time, 36 percent of Hungarian consumers expect to improve their personal situation over the next two years, compared to the 32 percent in the continent. (MTI)
