40% of Cypriots ‘just getting by’

Forty per cent of Cypriots are “just getting by”, a poll presented on Tuesday showed.

The same poll, carried out by the Cypronetwork company and commissioned by the Cyprus consumers’ union, said 30 per cent are “struggling” economically, while 30 per cent of people said they are “comfortable” with their income.

This figure is nine per cent higher than the same survey carried out a year ago, in which just 21 per cent of respondents said they were comfortable with their income.
