The life insurance reserves as household financial assets in Poland have experienced a consistent decline from 4.98% of total assets in 2013 to 2.97% in 2023. The trend shows a gradual yet persistent reduction, highlighted by double-digit declines in 2018 (-16.2%) and 2020 (-12.65%). Notably, there was a temporary uptick in 2021 with a year-on-year increase of 8.2%, but the numbers soon returned to a declining trajectory.
More positively, the descent seems to be tapering off post-2020 with smaller year-on-year variations (-2.55% in 2022 and -1.35% in 2023).

- Regulatory changes impacting the insurance market.
