72 percent of Czechs fear state budget deficit will affect their personal finances

72 percent of Czechs fear the impact of the state budget deficit on their own finances, according to a survey of over 1,000 Czechs conducted by the Median agency for Czech Radio. The groups most likely to worry about the effects of the deficit were young people between the ages of 18 and 29, people without higher education, people living in rural areas and those who voted for ANO party leader Andrej Babiš. 23 percent of people said they did not believe that the budget deficit would affect their financial situation, while the remaining five percent said they weren't sure either way.
