Strategies in the Face of Inflation
| Inflation in Poland is the highest it has been for 20 years. People have a variety of methods for coping with rising prices. A decided majority try to limit what they spend on their everyday shopping either by buying less or by seeking out cheaper products (75%). When faced with inflation many people put off major outlays or pull out of them altogether (64%), limit their usage of water, gas and electricity (63%) or their expenditure on entertainment, holidays and cultural events (57%). There are also people who do the exact opposite: concerned that prices will keep going up, they start stockpiling (18%).
| Rising prices have a direct effect on the state of respondents’ finances. Because of inflation a large part of those surveyed have to use their savings to cover everyday costs (43%), while those without any more savings run up debts (7%). Those with more savings at their disposal look for ways of investing them so they do not decrease in value (9%).
| Not a small percentage deal with the rise in the cost of fuel by using their cars less (28%). Inflation also affects the job market: people are more inclined to look for better-paid work or to work longer hours to bring in more money (10%) and, generally there is an expectation that wages should increase (9%).

| More on this subject in the CBOS report.
| This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (377) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register.
| Respondents independently selected one of the following methods: – Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI); – Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS; – Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
| In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 4 – 14 October 2021 inclusive on a sample of 1161 people (55.2% using the CAPI method, 28.9% CATI and 15.9% CAWI).
| CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
