"Its GDP growth rate of almost 3% in 2024 put it ahead of the overall EU rate of 1%, as well as the bloc's two largest economies France and Germany. France recorded a rate of 1.2% while Germany suffered a -0.2% contraction. The signs for 2025 are also positive. Poland recorded growth of 0.8% in the second quarter, the fifth best rate in the EU."
"It's not an overnight success, either. Since it joined the EU in 2004, average annual growth has been almost 4%, a rate that has largely accelerated over the last decade. Yet there is a particular momentum at present. Its stock market has been surging and optimism is growing around its capacity to develop into one of the EU's most robust and dynamic economies."
Poland posted almost 3% GDP growth in 2024, outpacing the EU average of 1% and exceeding France and Germany. Quarter-on-quarter growth of 0.8% placed Poland among the top EU performers. Forecasts indicate roughly 3.3% growth this year and about 3% next year. Average annual growth since joining the EU in 2004 has been almost 4%, with acceleration over the last decade. Real GDP doubled over two decades. Poland has a population of 37 million, a top-20 global GDP ranking, a surging stock market, rising optimism, and increased strategic and defense significance.
