Ipsos: in Russia, buzzers are most inclined to spontaneous purchases

In Russia, young people and middle-aged people want to improve financial literacy to a greater extent, according to the results of a survey by the international research company Ipsos. It turned out that Russians of generation Z (zoomers) are more inclined to spontaneous spending of money than others and are more likely to admire the financial success of those around them.
