K&H: a fiatalok többsége drágulásra számít

Although inflation is slowing down according to official data, young people do not really feel it – the K&H youth index reveals. According to the members of the 19-29 age group, the annual inflation was 25 percent between May 2022 and April of this year, in February they spoke of a level of 26 percent going back to the same one-year period, while according to KSH data, prices increased by 21.5 and 25.4 percent year-on-year in the months in question.

According to the results of the research, 40 percent of young people in their twenties perceived a price increase of less than 20 percent for the products they bought, including food, clothes and various services. This represents an improvement compared to February: then only 34 percent spoke of a price increase of less than 20 percent. 10 percent of young people experienced inflation similar to the official inflation data – 20-24 percent – compared to the February research, when this was true for 15 percent of them. In addition, 22 percent of the respondents in May, while 25 percent three months earlier said a price level increase of over 40 percent.
