A recent Eurobarometer survey has revealed that the increased cost of living is the biggest issue Maltese people are concerned about nowadays.
Last year, 31% of respondents had stated that the biggest issue was the cost of life and this year, the figure has increased by 33% which means that 54% are concerned about the constantly increasing prices around the world.
Other issues mentioned during the survey were the environment and climate change at 30%, public health at 25% and the economic situation at 20%. Survey participants exhibited a tendency to have a positive outlook towards the situation in Malta, with 58% of respondents describing the current situation as relatively good or very good.
Meanwhile, global food prices have hit an all-time high amid Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and consequent market shocks for grains and oils, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has stated.
