Notes: Weighted estimates. The median is computed on the basis of a symmetric linear interpolation that accounts for rounding of responses. Mean values are winsorised at the 2nd and 98th percentiles of each survey round and country.

Economic growth expectations for the next 12 months

In the qualitative question, respondents are asked: “During the next 12 months, I expect the economy of the country I currently live in to…”. The possible responses are “Grow”, “Shrink” and “Neither grow nor shrink”.

The open-ended (quantitative) question reads: “During the next 12 months, by how much do you think the economy will grow/shrink?
