Otkritie Bank: 64% of Siberians do not plan to make repairs this summer

Only 18% of Siberian residents are ready to spend the summer after the quarantine on repairing their houses or summer cottages. 30% (the highest figure in Russia) want to make repairs, but cannot afford it due to lack of money. These are the results of a survey* conducted by Otkritie Bank.

58% of respondents intend to spend no more than 60 thousand rubles on home repairs, 24% are going to meet the amount of no more than 150 thousand rubles. 3% of residents of the Siberian regions estimated the budget for their repairs at 500 thousand -1 million rubles.

For almost a third of Russians, the repair of a house or dacha remains a good reason to take out a bank loan, even despite the crisis and falling incomes. 34% of respondents will definitely not take a loan for repairs. At the same time, 13% of Siberians are determined to take such a loan, and another 15% are inclined to do the same.

On the eve of summer, 36% of Siberians (there are significantly fewer of them in Russia - 26%) noticed an increase in prices for goods for summer cottages, gardens and gardens. According to 11%, such growth did not occur.

44% of Siberian residents do not make food stocks for the winter due to a larger harvest in the country and do not intend to change their habits due to the coronavirus crisis. At the same time, 33% of respondents said that such stocks would be useful to them due to higher prices. 23% of respondents considered winter food stocks a necessity due to lower incomes.

Only 2% of Siberians intend to spend more after quarantine than before the start of the pandemic. 16% hope to do without strong savings in post-quarantine life. At the same time, 36% of respondents said that even before the crisis they were forced to exist in an economy mode. Another 39% (in Russia - 22%) said they had lost their jobs, and therefore they would inevitably have to save money after quarantine.
