Poland,

Ukrainians increasingly take out loans - mostly for housing.

This is evidenced by the data of the InfoKredit study, writes Inpoland.

As of the end of September 2022, Ukrainians took a total of PLN 6.34 billion in loans in Poland.

At the end of 2018, there were 1.63 billion zlotys.

The size of all loans in Polish banks reaches 778 billion zlotys, so the Ukrainian part accounts for only 0.8%.

Experts explain that this trend is not related to the relocation of Ukrainians after the start of the full-scale invasion.

Refugees simply increased the amount of loans.  

Most Ukrainians issue home loans in Poland.

Their value amounted to 4 billion 876 million zlotys, i.e. 77% of all loans issued by Ukrainians.

Cash loans make up 18% (1.16 billion zlotys).

The cost of credit cards of Ukrainian citizens is 107 million zlotys, which is 1.7% of all credit obligations to Polish banks.

According to the data, at the end of September, the number of Ukrainian citizens insured by ZUS reached 744,400 people.

According to the latest data, about 1.5 million people from Ukraine already have a PESEL number.

The Ministry of Family and Social Policy of Poland reports that about 700,000 Ukrainian refugees have already found work in their country.

Thus, Polish banks have more than 1 million Ukrainian customers.

As reported, Ukrainian refugees are increasingly opening their own businesses in Poland - in 8 months 

there have been more than 2,000 of them. 

Ukrainian entrepreneurs most often organize activities in the IT sphere, logistics, and the beauty industry. 

As the survey by Gremi Personal showed, the 

standard of living of half of the Ukrainian refugees after their forced relocation to Poland improved significantly.
