A recent Quaest survey reveals that 43% of Brazilians believe the economic situation has deteriorated over the past year, while 24% feel it has improved.
A recently released survey by Quaest indicates that a significant portion of the Brazilian population feels pessimistic about the state of the economy. According to the data, 43% of respondents report that the economic situation has worsened compared to 12 months ago, with only 24% indicating that it has improved, mirroring findings from earlier surveys this year. Additionally, about 30% of those surveyed feel that the economic conditions have remained unchanged over the past year.
Looking forward, respondents exhibit a somewhat divergent outlook for the next 12 months, with 43% believing the economy will improve, alongside 29% predicting a decline, and 24% expecting no change. This marks a small decrease in positive expectations from 48% in January indicating they expected improvement, while the proportion believing that the economy will worsen has slightly increased.
These survey results highlight a continuing sense of uncertainty among Brazilians regarding economic stability, reflecting wider global economic challenges that could be influencing public sentiment. The static nature of the perceptions over the last year suggests that factors impacting confidence in economic recovery remain at play, revealing the complexities of navigating economic messaging in Brazil.
