Abstract

The article is focused on insurance products related to the indebtedness of Czech households in the area of consumer loans. The aim of this paper is, with the help of defined assumptions, to analyse the product payment protection insurance, its benefit to the final client and identify its appropriate use in the event of an economically rationally behaving entity. The authors analyse insurance conditions and define the pros and cons of insurance for supply-side and demand-side, and also focuses on information asymmetry. For completeness, the text is supplemented also in terms of cost of insurance, through the APR and development of acquisition costs for insurance contracts. Results of the analysis indicate not suitably configured product for clients, as evidenced by the low long-term value of loss ratio indicator, and information superiority on the supply side.
