Household debt ratio in Poland 2023

According to the OECD, the household indebtedness ratio presents the total outstanding debt of households as a percentage of gross disposable income of households. The debt of households largely consists of loans (primarily home mortgage loans), but also other types of liabilities such as consumer credit (e.g., credit card, automobile loans). A ratio above 100 percent shows that the level of debt outstanding is larger than the annual flow of disposable income.

In Poland, the household indebtedness ratio to gross disposable income fluctuated in the observed period. As of the fourth quarter of 2023, the household indebtedness ratio was 41.69 percent.

The source added the following information "The household indebtedness ratio presents the total outstanding debt of households as a percentage of gross disposable income of households. The debt of households largely consists of loans, primarily home mortgage loans, but also other types of liabilities such as consumer credit (e.g. credit card, automobile loans). An indebtedness ratio above (below) 100 percent indicates that the household debt outstanding is larger (smaller) than the annual flow of disposable income. It is clear that high household indebtedness ratios, as is true for high government debt ratios, may create a certain risk or vulnerability for households, especially when it is unevenly distributed across different groups of households. On the other hand however, one should also take into account the availability of assets, e.g. dwellings, for which the borrowing has been made."
