Household debt ratio in Poland 2021

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 ratio of household indebtedness to gross disposable income has increased overall between the first quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2020. As of the third quarter of 2021, the household indebtedness ratio was 58.08 percent.

Supplementary notes

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."
