Poland in 2025: Economic Resilience and Strategic Development Shape a New Era
A Year of Positive Change
Prime Minister Donald Tusk has declared 2025 as a “year of positive” change for Poland, presenting the country’s economic development strategy alongside Finance Minister Andrzej Domański.
Economic Growth and Development
Poland’s economy is showing remarkable strength, with GDP growth accelerating to 3.4% year-over-year in Q2 2025, up from 3.2% in Q1, primarily driven by increased consumption. As a high-income country with a well-diversified domestic economy, Poland has demonstrated resilience through its well-integrated regional value chains, macroeconomic stability, and strong domestic labor markets.
Strategic Investment and Development
The government’s development plan rests on six key pillars: investment in science, energy transformation, modern technologies, port and railway development, dynamic capital markets, and business support. The total investment value is expected to reach an unprecedented PLN 700 billion this year.
Energy and Infrastructure
The government has committed PLN 65 billion over the next decade for transmission networks, alongside investments in new power generation, distributed energy, and storage facilities. Notable developments include ongoing projects for nuclear power plants and offshore wind farms. The first nuclear power plant will be located in the Kashubian region, with plans for a second site under consideration through private capital investment.
Future Challenges and Opportunities
To maintain its growth trajectory, Poland faces three crucial transitions: shifting towards a green economy, adopting digital technologies, and adjusting to an aging population. These changes require strong political ownership, institutional coordination, and administrative capacity to implement enabling reforms at both national and subnational levels.
International Position and Investment
According to the 2025 EY Europe Attractiveness survey, despite a general decline in European FDI, Poland continues to attract strong investor interest in sectors including new technologies, renewable energy, services, and logistics. Importantly, reinvested profits are showing an upward trend.
