Half of Romanians have debts and three quarters do not pay them on time

Only 8% of Romanians pay their debts in a responsible way, while 77% do not feel any moral pressure if they do not pay their debts, latest KRUK study shows.

In addition, 43% of the respondents do not consider that debts should be paid because it is fair, although three quarters of them believe that debtors are not reliable individuals.

Moreover, 88% would like to be rewarded for paying their debts on time, given that 39% of Romanians do not do so. Out of these, almost one third have exceeded the 30-day term.
