A third of the respondents can imagine to have after a couple of months back, the buying behavior before the crisis.

“The fact that a majority of respondents spending a normalization of consumption, if at all, only after a couple of months expected, it shows that a great deal of uncertainty with regard to the financial consequences of Covid-19 for the budget is,” said Jessica Distler of BCG.
