Abstract

The authors on the basis of official statistical data and results of own sociological research analyze the impact of economic expectations on the formation of models of financial behavior of the Russian population. Current crisis makes analysis of factors and types of savings strategies (as the most common type of financial behavior in our country) particularly important. There is a hypothesis that savings give people confidence in their future amid economic turmoil, therefore, it should guarantee a certain measure of social stability. Savings in the form of bank deposits ensure the stability not only of the banking and financial systems, but ultimately of the country as a whole, affecting employment and incomes. This article discusses the transformation of savings strategies, including the appropriateness, form, norm and currency savings. The authors demonstrate how economic situation effects financial position of households and motivates their financial behavior in the face of negative expectations. Comparison of views on the current economic situation of the country and projections of the (near) future of highest income segment of the population and total population of Russia revealed perception similarities when it comes to feasibility of savings and general confidence in the banking system. The authors came to the conclusion that the so-called savings behavior dominates all the other types of financial preferences in our country. General decline in living standards observed in 2014-2015 and differentiation in income levels across regions and social layers prove to be the main factors influencing the formation of risk-free financial strategies.
