For each survey, face-to-face interviews were conducted with about 1,000 persons aged 15+. The sample was selected via a multi-stage stratified random sample procedure, with the exception of Bulgaria, where quota sampling was applied. Results are representative for the respective population structure in all countries but Poland, where the population of only the ten largest cities was sampled. Further technical details about the survey are summarized in a brief technical report.

Questionnaire:
The most important questions asked in the survey pertain to the currency composition and the amounts of FCC holdings and FCDs as well as to the motives for holding FCC and FCDs. In some aspects, the OeNB Euro Survey continues earlier surveys commissioned by the OeNB that have been conducted in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia (see, e.g., Stix, 2002), thus producing comparable data over time. Furthermore, a number of new questions has been included, e.g. on people’s perception of the economic situation and their expectations, payment behaviour, sources of foreign currency denominated assets, etc.
