Research and analysis highlights
Recessionary pressures have caused the European consumer to stand still,
uncertain of what move to make. European financial service providers need to
take this on board when trying to market their products, reassuring the
consumer enough to entice them to make positive changes.
Stress and happiness indictors are important to note as they reveal the state
of mind of the European consumer. Faced with the uncertainty of the economic
and financial landscape there exists an opportunity for financial services to
supply products that provide peace of mind.
