Effects of COVID-29: New research reports from Gallup International & Market Links

We have made a selection of data from surveys published in the period June 10-12, which directly relate to consumer attitudes and have an impact on what and how much Bulgarians spend.

Data from the survey of Gallup International* :

• 51% of respondents say that their income had dropped as a cause of COVID-19
• 64% say that they are limiting their visits to the cinema, theater, concerts;
• 55% limit eating and drinking out;
• 55% limit going to shopping malls and sports venues
• 54 % limit travel in the country and gatherings
• 41% limit going out of their homes

Another survey, by bTV and Market Links**, shows Bulgarians’ insecurity when it comes to the future financial standing of their households:

Gallup International's survey also found that nearly two-thirds of respondents are hopeful that life in Bulgaria will get back to normal by the end of the year:
