Original
Households spent CHF4,949 per month, or 49.8% of gross income, on consumer spending in the reporting year. According to the FSO, this is slightly more than in 2021. The consumption level of the years before the Covid-19 pandemic has thus been reached again.
After all expenses, private households were left with an average of CHF1,546 per month, or 15.6% of their gross income, to save.
Nevertheless, not all households were able to set aside a savings amount in 2022 either. According to the FSO figures, households in the lowest income bracket with a gross income of less than CHF4,723, for example, often spent more money than they earned.
