STRONG MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR CEE

Excellent average annual real GDP growth rates (2024-2028) expected for major VIG markets

For most CESEE countries 2024 will be better than 2023

  • GDP growth for the EU members in the region is forecasted at average of 2.5%, rising to 3% in 2025 - significantly outperforming the stagnant euro area (0.6%), and still growing next year twice as fast as the euro area (1.6%)
    • Romania (3.0%) and Croatia (2.9%) are seen to grow particularly strong in 2024, supported by in-flows from EU funds
    • Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary are expected to grow at an average rate of 2.4% this year, rising to 3.0% in 2025
  • Inflation in most of VIG markets has slowed significantly on the back of falling food and energy prices, allowing for rapid real wage growth
  • Private consumption is driving the growth on the back of rising wages (tight labour markets) and falling inflation

RISK AWARENESS AND RISK LITERACY IN CEE TO BE IMPROVED

VIG defines risk literacy as the ability to make informed and considerate decisions in relation to risks

Risk literacy in CEE according to a representative study not particularly strong

▪

Around 2/3 of the population have little to no awareness of the health, work, housing, liability, and cyber risks and believe that the public authorities would intervene

  • 7 out of 10 respondents do not believe that the risks are likely to become a reality, despite judging potential loss/damage to be high

1 out of 5 has taken no risk-prevention measures at all

The global protection gap (need in % of economic loss)1

Health Mortality NatCat

Insurance 889 406 368 potential ($ bn)

In addition to GDP growth and increased wealth of the population,

improved risk literacy is an important driver for further developing insurance density,

reaching potential future customers and helping individuals and society to achieve economic resilience (closing the protection gap).
