(Keystone-ATS) In 2022, households spent 4,949 francs per month, or 49.8% of their gross income, on their consumption expenditure, a little more than in 2021. Consumption thus returned to the level before the coronavirus pandemic. Covid-19, writes the OFS.
After all expenses, private households were left with an average amount of 1,546 francs per month, or 15.6% of gross income, to save.
However, not all households were able to save. Households in the lowest income class, with less than 4,723 francs of gross income, for example, often spent more money than they received.
According to the OFS, this is explained in particular by the relatively large share of retired households (64%) in this category. The latter finance part of their expenses via their wealth.
