Kosovo citizens for end-of-year holidays spent about 30m euros

Uncontrolled Kosovo citizens' spendings on last year holidays for many are elusive, even increasing millions. Most of these are for food.

With 18 percent of the population in full poverty and 5 percent of them in extreme poverty, however, Kosovars prove to be quite concerned at holidays, especially the end of the year.

In this period of time, about a third of Kosovo's families celebrate the new year and that only 55 per cent have bought discount products.

According to the “report The spending of Kosovo families for end-of-year holidays, 2021”, implemented by UBO Consulting, each family in Kosovo spends an average of over 150 euros on these holidays.

“64 per cent of households in Kosovo celebrate the holiday season”, the report stresses.

UBO Consulting points out that 63 percent of the money for weekend holidays goes to food and drink, 13 percent for gifts, 11 percent for decorations, another 5 percent, and 4 percent for musical evenings and trips.

In the question of why this holiday is not celebrated, 83 percent of citizens have responded that they do not adhere to their beliefs.

“83 percent ) Last - year holidays do not match my beliefs, 14 percent for economic causes, and 3 percent for other reasons”, the report points out.

An interesting statistical clue has come out of the presents. When citizens are asked what they want for a gift, most have claimed to want cash.

“85 percent prefer cash as a gift, 82 percent prefer travel tickets, while 65 percent prefer to receive a book”, the report follows.

Over half of citizens have said they have bought promotional products (from discounts). About 70 percent of them have said that the information source for information about these products has had television, followed by 61 percent social networks, 27 percent from portals, 25 percent from family and friends, 24 percent from stores, and 12 percent from radio.

At the end of the report, 83 percent of the purchases are made from December 25th-31th, while the rest from December 15th-24th. /Telegraphy/
