Concern about own insolvency due to rising energy prices and inflation in the coming months (as of October 2022)

The chart documents how sports-interested respondents in Germany who view rising prices as a major problem assess their personal financial vulnerability over three time horizons: 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months ahead (as of October 2022). Each horizon is broken down into five response categories ranging from "yes, definitely" to "no, definitely not."

Across all three horizons, the combined affirming shares are substantial. At the 3-month horizon, 21% say "yes, definitely" and 33% say "rather yes." At 12 months, the "yes, definitely" share rises to 25% and the "rather yes" share to 34%. The undecided share also grows from 19% at 3 months to 22% at 12 months. Conversely, the "rather no" share declines from 21% at 3 months to 14% at 12 months. The "no, definitely not" share remains flat at 5% across all three horizons.
