Only 7% of the country’s population believes that economic conditions will improve next month. This is the lowest level of pandemic since 2020.
“Currently, most people are pessimistic about their finances,” said Nora Clausen, senior adviser to the opinion of the Norwegian corona barometer.
Klausen does not believe that the corona pandemic alone is due to the negative numbers. But she thinks it shares responsibility for rising interest rates and rising prices.
The majority of the surveys (51%) believe that economic conditions will worsen, and 42% believe they will remain the same.
Personal finances
Twenty-seven percent say they are worried about their personal finances as a result of a pandemic. This is the highest level since April 2020.
In addition, 36% say they are worried about the Norwegian economy as a result of the pandemic. This is a 6% increase from May.
In a June survey, 6 out of 10 Norwegians (57%) said they would spend their summer vacation only in Norway this year. This is an 8% increase from May.
“As summer approaches, this year’s Norwegian holidays seem to be improving. Strikes in the aviation industry will probably intensify that trend,” Klausen added.
Corona pandemic
Currently, 4 out of 10 Norwegians (41%) say they believe that the number of new corona cases will increase. 24% expect a decline, but the rest believe the numbers will not change.
The percentage of people expecting an increase in infection has increased by 18% since May.
“Although there have already been minor changes in trends in May, the June survey has sent a strong signal that Norwegians are hoping to increase corona infections in the future,” said Nora Clausen. increase.
