Economic Transformation and Growth

Prime Minister Donald Tusk has unveiled Poland’s economic development strategy for the coming year at the Warsaw Stock Exchange, alongside Finance Minister Andrzej Domański.

The comprehensive plan is built on six key pillars: scientific advancement, energy transformation, technological innovation, infrastructure development, capital market dynamism, and business support. The initiative represents the largest investment in Polish history, with a projected value of PLN 700 billion.

Economic Performance and Stability

Poland’s economy has shown remarkable resilience, with GDP growth accelerating to 3.4% year-over-year in Q2 2025, up from 3.2% in Q1. This growth has been primarily driven by increased consumption, while inflation has decreased to 2.8% in August 2025, down from 3.1% in July.

Infrastructure and Innovation

The country’s ports currently handle 90% of Poland’s exports and imports, with ambitious plans to triple cargo capacity by 2030. To support this expansion, the government has allocated PLN 180 billion for railway modernization.

Energy and Environmental Initiatives

The government has committed to significant energy infrastructure development, including PLN 65 billion for transmission networks over the next decade. The country is advancing its nuclear energy program, with plans for its first nuclear power plant in the Kashubian region and potential for a second facility through private investment.

International Relations and Security

Poland continues to play a crucial humanitarian role, hosting over 970,120 Ukrainian refugees. The country has demonstrated remarkable economic resilience through its well-diversified economic structure, integrated regional value chains, and strong domestic labor markets.

Future Outlook

Poland’s future economic success depends heavily on technological transitions. The country is pursuing a growth model driven by innovation, leveraging its strengths in clean value chains and advanced manufacturing capabilities. However, the rapidly aging population remains a significant challenge to growth, inclusion, and fiscal sustainability.
