Poland: House price to income ratio

The house price to income ratio is the ratio of the cost of a typical upscale housing unit of 100 square metres, compared to the countrys GDP per capita. Normally this ratio will be much higher in low income countries than in high income countries.

The formula is: (Price per square metre / GDP per capita)*100. The house price to income ratios published by the Global Property Guide are based on the Global Property Guides own proprietary in-house research, but we use the IMFs GDP per capita figures.

 

Poland does not publish official house price statistics. The Central Statistical Office has a ‘house price’ index which is really a construction cost index. REAS Konsulting produces house price figures, but they are not publicly available. There are quite good mortgage interest rate statistics on the Central Bank web site

Poland’s general economics data are of poor quality. The GDP statistics available on the Central Statistical Office site tend to be old. However good general statistics in pdf format are available on the back pages of Macroscope, a publication of Bank Zachodni WBK.
