A recent IRES study shows that 30% of Romanians plan to purchase both mandatory and optional home insurance within the next year. However, only 17% feel financially secure enough to cover damages from natural disasters. The study highlights a lack of awareness regarding the financial impact of damages as a key reason for low insurance uptake. Many respondents estimate it would take them over five years to recover from significant repair costs. In the first half of 2026, payouts for optional home insurance exceeded 90 million lei, marking a 14% increase from the previous year. UNSAR's president emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making in protecting financial stability.
