The year 2023 saw a marked increase in the extent of extreme poverty (by 2 p.p. to 6.6% of people in households). The extent of relative poverty remained at a similar level to the previous year (12.2% - a minimal increase of 0.5 p.p.). On the other hand, the extent of legal poverty decreased (by about 2 p.p. to 4.1%) with the same thresholds for this type of poverty as a year earlier. These changes followed a period of high inflation in 2022 and a period of gradual reduction in 2023.
