Irish consumers more optimistic about investing their income in 2023

Cost-of-living crisis is still hampering people's efforts to save money

Inflation is the top concern amongst the Irish public.

Irish consumers have a greater appetite to invest their income in the year ahead following a difficult 2022 which saw losses in the bond and equities markets.

According to a new survey, 43% of households saw the current environment as a poor time to invest. However, when asked to look forward to six months’ time, the mood changes very considerably. Just one in three see that period as a bad time to invest.
