The economic downturn appears to go better with a meal and a glass of wine,according to a survey which shows that customers outside Europe and the United States do not intend to cut back on eating and having fun.
The survey,conducted by MasterCard and released on Wednesday,says nearly 70 percent of people surveyed in many countries in Asia Pacific and the Middle East see eating and entertainment to be their top spending priority(优先) in the next six months.
Fashion,fitness and wellness,children’s education,electronic goods and travelling round up the topfive unnecessary purchasing priorities for the majority of more than 9,200 people surveyed.
“Socializing is important in Asia and the Middle East,and it costs a relatively small amount of money that’s affordable in this global economic crisis,” Yuwa HedrickWong,MasterCard’s AsiaPacific economic adviser,told reporters.“Having dinner and drinks is not buying a car,” he said.
According to the MasterCard Worldwide Index of Customer Purchasing Priorities,just over half the customers said they would continue to spend on unnecessary items over the next six months.
But nearly twothirds said they would cut back on buying extras,with an overall 72 percent planning to increase their savings,or money set aside for lean times.
China,whose economy has not been as badly hit by the downturn as other nations,has the highest number of people still willing to spend at the same levels,followed by the oilrich Gulf Arab countries of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
