A Bundesbank survey shows that individuals living in Germany suffered different types of financial losses during the pandemic. Primarily individuals with lower incomes reported losses in wages and salaries which persisted much longer than other financial losses, such as falling securities prices. The latter were frequently reported at the start of the pandemic, but were subsequently offset at least partly, according to the respondents. It was mainly the more persistent wage and salary losses that changed households’ consumption and saving decisions. Altered saving and consumption behaviour can, in turn, affect the transmission of monetary policy measures.
