Nearly 40 percent of Slovaks expect better year than last one

Almost 90 percent of Slovakia's population expects that 2018 will be approximately the same or better than last year. According to a survey that GfK Slovakia conducted in November 2017 on a sample of 1,000 respondents aged 15-79, just under 40 percent of people expect that this year will be better than 2017. The most optimistic are young people under 30 years of age. Of those who predict a better year, nearly half believe that their financial situation will improve. On the other hand, a worse political situation in Slovakia is also expected by as many as 38 percent of those who expect a worse year overall. Similarly, 33 percent predict that the general mood in Slovak society will be worse than last year.
