Over the past few months, there has been an increase of 10%-15% in calls to the Paamonim organization. 80% of applicants are salaried employees. Current expenses for the family are going up – the increase in electricity prices is having an effect, people are more at home so there are more expenses on food. Fuel has become more expensive. There are expenses on attractions and activities for children.
We at paamonim are trying to help plan expenses during this period. We understand that the increase in prices is not something specific, but an ongoing event that needs to be prepared. Interest rates will rise again and this will affect loans. The price of electricity will go up, the price of bread will go up, we’ll have to give up things.
