The majority of respondents believe that the coming year 2025 will be better than the previous year. Three respondents out of four look forward to the new year with hope – slightly more than last year, while this is the highest figure in 12 years. About two thirds of the respondents believe that next year will be stressful for the political and economic life of the country, but for them it will be rather calm. Similar estimates were observed last December. In general, young people, more affluent respondents, and those who are loyal to government policies have more positive expectations for the coming year. On the contrary, older respondents, less well-off respondents, as well as opposition-minded citizens demonstrate more negative views about the coming 2025.
