In June, households expected their net household income to rise by an average of around €120 over the next 12 months. Average expected income growth has thus risen for the fourth consecutive month (March: around €60, April: around €85; May: around €105). Expectations still vary significantly when broken down by factors such as household income, gender and, in particular, age group. The median remains constant at €125. This can be explained by the fact that a large share of individuals have considered income growth of between €0 and €250 to be most likely each month since this survey was launched.
