Poles without savings: a study
14:11
Almost half of Poles have no savings. The others put aside an average of nearly PLN 30,000. As much as 61 percent of respondents admitted that they had never had any experience with investing, according to the "Assay Index" study.
56 percent of Poles admit that they have put aside funds, which in the event of a difficult situation may constitute the so-called financial pillow. Their savings amount to an average of PLN 29,688. In this group, only 6 percent of people gathered over PLN 100,000.
As we read in the report, the financial situation looks much better among active and potential investors. In this group, as much as 78 percent of the respondents declare that they have any savings.
At the same time, only 16 percent of Poles admitted that they actively invest the money saved, i.e. outside of bank deposits. They most often invest in investment fund participation units (6 percent) and other financial instruments such as insurance policies (6 percent), stocks of companies on the WSE (5 percent), treasury bonds (5 percent), and corporate bonds (2 percent).
