Swiss people like their personal budget

Half of the Swiss people, exactly 54%, are satisfied for their financial and economic situation, for 8% the opinion is negative and 38% maintained a neutral attitude, according to the survey by the consulting firm EY at the end of 2016.

The values differ only slightly from the previous year (respectively 54%, 6% and 40%). But, considering only young people up to 35 years, the level of satisfaction is strongly decreased (from 61% to 46%) in a year while people dissatisfied (from 4% to 18%) grew.

According Gröli Martin, head of consumer sector at EY Switzerland, the latter figure is worrying. "The results show that many young people are dissatisfied with their current situation, in particular of their income and financial expenses," it said in a statement today.

Looking to 2017, 71% of the people believed that their personal situation will remain the same, while 17% believe it will improve and 12% that get worse; 21% think that the Swiss economy will evolve in a negative way, compared with 14% who see the bright future and 65% believe that there will be no changes.

Over job market, 60% consider his jobplace very secure, 26% sure enough, 9% at enough risk and 5% said they worry about situation.
