GDP - According to the macroeconomic survey by NBP, GDP growth average forecast is 3,6% GDP growth for this year and 3,4% for 2026. However, ING predicts 3,2% for 2025, Santander 3,5%.
PMI - A big drop (from 50,2 to 47,1) was seen in PMI figures which should be reflecting the industry’s mood. This time the PMI in Germany was higher, 48,3. However, the new orders in the industry grew in May by 8,5% y/y and export orders by 6,1% (GUS).
INFLATION - Inflation has slowed down to 4% and forecasts are now reaching below 3% figures. For example PKO predicts inflation to decrease below 3% in July and remain at this level. 2026 average inflation forecast is 2,8%. Lower inflation is driven mainly by energy prices, fuels, food and base prices. On the opposite side, the price of services grew 6% y/y.
INTEREST RATE - Predicted next cut may happen in July but latest in September. Predictions are 3 x 0,25pps decrease still this year. According to NBP analysts consensus, the predicted average interest rate for 2026 is 4,17%.
PLN - Is staying strong and stable at around 4,25 vs Euro and predictions for even 2026 look more or less the same level.
MINIMUM SALARY - New proposed minimum wage for 2026 is 4806 PLN (3% increase) and hour wage 31,4 PLN. These are clearly lower than average salary growth figures and milder increases than during previous years. Final decision should be made in the fall.
AVERAGE SALARY - Salary growth was 8,4% y/y in May. According to forecasts, salary growth should slow down to “only” 6,5% in 2026 and 5,3% in 2027 according to NBP forecast.
UNEMPLOYMENT - In May, the unemployment rate decreased to 5% and at the same time employment fell by -0,8%.
OTHER NUMBERS FROM THE ECONOMY:
Share of self-employed people was 20,9% of all employed (GUS)
Number of students in Poland was 1,280 million at the end of 2024 (GUS)
Retail sales growth in May was 4,4% y/y (GUS)
Exports increased 0,5% in Jan-Apr (in EUR terms), exports to Germany decreased by 1,1%. Imports increased by 6,3% during the same period.
May inflation stood at 4.0% annually
In May 2025, consumer goods and services prices increased by 4.0% year-on-year, according to the Central Statistical Office (GUS).
Lower prices in transportation (down 2.4%) and recreation and culture (down 1.8%) were the main factors behind the inflation rate. Meanwhile, prices rose in food (up 0.4%), restaurants and hotels, healthcare, and alcoholic beverages and tobacco products (each up 0.7%).
Meanwhile, inflation in Poland measured by the HICP (Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices) was 3.5% year-on-year in May, compared to 3.7% in March, according to Eurostat. On a monthly basis, prices fell by 0.1%.
Budget deficit reaches 108.3 bln PLN in Jan-May
The Ministry of Finance reported a budget deficit of 108.3 billion PLN (~25 bn€) for January to May 2025, equal to 37.5% of the annual target. State budget revenues reached 223.0 billion PLN, down by about 38.0 billion PLN (14.6%) compared to the same period last year. However, this decline reflects changes in the allocation of PIT and CIT revenues between the state and local governments due to the 2025 local government financing reform.
State budget expenditures totaled 331.3 billion PLN, rising by approximately 17.2 billion PLN (5.5%) from the previous year. This increase mainly resulted from a March transfer of around 19 billion PLN to repay bonds issued by the Polish Development Fund in 2020 to support the government’s “Financial Shield” program.
Poland’s governmental budget deficit is expected to exceed 6% share of GDP, making it the second highest in the EU after Romania.
Foreign investment in Poland dropped sharply in 2024
According to a UNCTAD report, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Poland fell significantly in 2024 to USD 12.74 bln, down from USD 28.36 bln in 2023. At the same time, Polish investment abroad also declined, from USD 8.52 bln in 2023 to USD 2.17 bln in 2024. Of course it is worth to remember that big one-time investments can affect the figures heavinly.
Globally, FDI inflows decreased by about 11% in 2024. UNCTAD expects the investment outlook for 2025 to remain weak due to geopolitical tensions, reduced globalization, and declining investment in infrastructure and industry. Digital investments are growing, but unevenly across regions.
Polish foreign investment is expected to triple by 2035 (Pekao)
"Poland will surpass Italy in GDP per capita, with technological advancement driving high-tech products to account for 10% of Polish exports, and the global expansion of Polish companies leading to a threefold increase in outbound foreign direct investment by 2035," said Ernest Pytlarczyk, Chief Economist at Bank Pekao.
The bank's newly released report, "Poland’s Moment: How it got rich, how it transforms into a smart and resilient economy", discovers the key factors behind Poland’s success: its strategic location between major markets, industrial hubs, and transport corridors; a well-educated and skilled workforce; the benefits of a large and robust domestic market; balanced development supported by relatively low public debt, a flexible exchange rate, and a stable banking system; and EU membership, which ensures access to attractive markets, supply chains, and investment funding.
Investments activity trend down
Despite so many positive sides of Polish businesses we are seeing, according to a June 2025 report by the Polish Economic Institute (PIE), Poland’s investment rate (vs. GDP) has been becoming smaller for over a decade. In 2024, it stood at almost 17% of GDP, compared to the EU average of 21.2%. The main reasons for this might be high prices for energy, legal obstacles, and low private sector demand. Even though 75% of Polish companies invested last year, nearly 25% made no investments at all. In 2025, most firms plan to continue investing, but many still face rising costs and unclear regulations.

The minimum wage in Poland will increase about 3%
Poland’s minimum wage is set to rise to around 1,130 EUR gross per month in 2026, increasing by about 33 EUR from the current rate. Employers say "it’s a fair adjustment, as past increases were larger". The government argues that the 3% rise follows inflation estimates. Concerns remain that higher wages might make hiring tougher for small companies.
The labour unions agree with the government’s plan to raise the minimum wage in 2026. They think the new amount is fair and helps workers. In addition, from the healthcare industry news, the Polish Health Minister announced that doctors and nurses will get higher pay starting July 1st, 2025. The raise is based on a new base rate of 1,600 EUR gross per month. Hospitals will get extra funds to cover the increases. The goal is to keep skilled staff in the public system and improve working conditions.
Polish wages now higher than in Czech
Polish workers might be earning statistically a bit more than Czechs. In early 2025, the average gross monthly wage in Poland reached 2,035 EUR (Q1) while in the Czech Republic it was 2,020 EUR (Q1). This shift comes after years of step-by-step wage growth in Poland and slower increases in Czechia. Another reason might be Poland’s strong labor market, increase of foreign workers and rising minimum wage, all helped close the gap. The data comes from Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS) and Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ).
Teachers got 3% pay rise, demanded 10%. Demonstrations coming?
The Polish Teachers Union is launching a protest campaign after the government announced a 3% pay rise - not meeting their demand of 10%, quotes the media sources. Protests are planned on September 1st, which is the opening date of the new school season.
Mismatch deepens on Poland’s labor market
According to the Central Statistical Office, companies reported over 100,000 open job positions at the end of Q1 2025 - a figure that could be twice as high in actuality. That's 11% more than at the end of the previous quarter. At the same time, experienced professionals are struggling to find roles. The largest staffing shortages are reported in manufacturing (21,600 vacancies), construction (13,300), and transport and storage (10,100).
The most frequently cited challenges in recruitment processes are candidates' salary expectations being too high (41.3%) and a mismatch between their qualifications and the role (35%). Other common issues include candidates withdrawing from the recruitment process (32.7%) and a general lack of applicants (29.9%).
On the other hand, qualified professionals increasingly struggle to find positions that match both their skills and career expectations. Additionally, today’s job market shows that 40% of respondents value flexible working hours, and 32% would reject an offer that doesn’t include the option to work remotely.
The economic impact of Ukrainian refugees in Poland
A study conducted by Deloitte for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) found that Ukrainian refugees contributed 2.7% to Poland’s GDP in 2024. Most working-age Ukrainian refugees in Poland are employed - around 570,000 people - with an employment rate of 69%, only slightly below the Polish average of 75%. Their presence supports higher productivity in Polish companies and among workers, while also boosting consumer demand.
Work regulations to protect all types of contracts
The Polish government approved a bill to count all work experience (even from civil contracts) toward job benefits like vacation time. This change will help people with non-standard contracts get fair treatment. The law still needs to pass the Parliament.
Poland’s hiring outlook slows for Q3 2025
According to the "ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Barometer" report for Q3 2025, 31% of companies in Poland plan to hire new employees in the coming months, while 20% are considering reducing staff. Meanwhile, 47% of organizations do not anticipate any changes, and 2% of employers have not yet made a decision. The net employment outlook for Poland stands at +11%, which is 5 percentage points lower than in the previous quarter and 4 points lower year-on-year. The highest demand for workers is expected in the energy & utilities sector (+34%), IT (+23%), and communication services (+20%).

Facebook’s low tax bill in Poland sparks debate
Facebook Poland reported 1.82 bln PLN in 2024 revenue but paid only 10.6 mln PLN in corporate income tax. Despite a net profit of 42.5 mln PLN, the relatively low tax raised eyebrows - especially compared to local firms like Wirtualna Polska, which paid over six times more tax on lower revenue. Experts point to possible tax optimization through high intra-group costs. The case has renewed calls for a digital services tax based on revenue.
Poland keeps energy prices frozen for homes
Polish households will not pay more for electricity in 2025. Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that electricity prices will remain frozen until the end of the year.

Some people worry it might slow down investment in renewable energy, though others believe the freeze helps families during tough economic times.
PGE is serious about moving away from fossil; massive investment plan
Polska Grupa Energetyczna plans to invest 54.5 bln EUR by 2035, focusing on renewables, grid upgrades, storage, gas units, and clean heating. About 35 bln EUR will go to Polish suppliers, while 9 GW of offshore wind, 5 GW of onshore renewables, and 10 GW of gas power will be added. PGE will expand energy storage to 18 GWh, modernize heat systems with 4.2 bln EUR, and replace coal units with low-emission tech by 2030. It will also build smart grid infrastructure, install smart meters, and expand OZE connection capacity by 11 GW. Strategic areas like hydrogen, SMRs (small modular reactors), and large nuclear projects are under evaluation. PGE targets 70% zero-emission by 2030.
Polish company won a contract with nuclear plant project
Energomontaż-Północ Gdynia (a member of Grupa Przemysłowa Baltic, GPB) will help build Poland’s first nuclear power plant using AP1000 reactors. The company will supply a key stainless steel module for the cooling and safety system. It’s part of an agreement with Westinghouse, the U.S. tech provider. The project includes upgrading production halls and buying new machines.
Hitachi Energy invests in the Łódź factory
Hitachi Energy is investing 14 mln EUR to expand its transformer component plant in Łódź, Poland. A new 5,000 sq metres building will boost production by half of its current capacity and create over 100 jobs. Europe’s demand for grid equipment is growing, so the site will use automated machines to make as much as they can. The project is part of a 5.19 bln EUR global plan to grow Hitachi’s manufacturing and R&D. Completion is expected in 2026.
Biogas plant opened in Gogolin
Polska Grupa Biogazowa (PGB), part of TotalEnergies, opened its 21st biogas plant in Gogolin, Poland on May 28th, 2025. The Gogolin plant uses organic waste to create renewable energy, reducing CO2 emissions. With 1 MW capacity, the facility can produce 9 GWh of electricity yearly, that’s enough for 3,000 homes. It also generates 8.4 GWh of heat, useful for wood drying. PGB now operates 21 plants with a total 22 MW capacity, supplying 192 GWh annually. The company aims to reach 2 TWh of biomethane production by 2030.
Pekao lobbying for energy storages
Bank Pekao says the EU needs to change how it supports clean energy. Right now, most funds go to wind and solar farms. But Pekao argues that energy storage, like batteries, is just as important. In a June 2025 article, the bank said renewables can only grow fast if there are systems to store extra power. That helps keep the electricity grid stable. Without better storage, too much energy can go to waste. Pekao wants EU policymakers to create new programs to help build more storage. The bank believes this would help the green transition work better and faster.
Allegro’s solar farms begin delivery under 200 GWh contract for 10 years
Allegro, Poland’s top e-commerce platform, first signed its solar energy deal with R.Power in January 2024, worth over 200 GWh of green electricity per year. This contract will last through a 10-year virtual Power Purchase Agreement (vPPA). The energy will come from 16 new solar farms across Poland, starting in 2025. We’re hearing about it again now, in mid-2025, because the farms are being activated and connected to the grid, marking the start of real energy delivery. It’s a key step in Allegro’s plan to run on 100% renewable electricity by 2030 and cut emissions by 43% in logistics and data centers.
Poland’s energy fund got record amount of requests with storage project
Poland’s environmental fund NFOŚiGW received 630 applications for energy storage support worth 6.5 bln EUR, whereas the budget was around 1bn EUR. The program, backed by the Modernisation Fund, offers grants and loans for building battery systems of at least 4 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy, delivering 2 megawatts (MW) of power. Projects can include inverters, transformers, and grid connections. Grants cover up to 45% of costs, with extra help for small firms. This should help stabilize the power grid and support renewables.
633m Euros to hydrogen projects
Poland approved 633 mln EUR in grants for six green hydrogen projects (backed by funding from the National Recovery Plan). The biggest share goes to Orlen Group, which gets 390 mln EUR for its Hydrogen Eagle and Green H2 programs. Other winners include Polenergia, Tauron, and Bioagra. The projects will use electrolysers powered by renewables.
Poland boosts gas network cybersecurity and emergency staff training
Poland is strengthening the safety of its gas system through tech innovations and staff training. A new cybersecurity project called CriNet is being developed by Gaz-System, Exatel, and Rzeszów University of Technology. Backed by 8.3 mln EUR, it will protect critical gas infrastructure from cyberattacks using Polish-made SDN devices. The system will detect threats, react instantly, and reconfigure the network to limit damage. It’s set to launch by 2027.
Alongside that, on May 27th, 2025, Gaz-System held a large-scale emergency drill (training of emergency and security services) called GAZ 2025 in Tarnów. Over 160 people from the police, fire brigade, military, and security teams trained for scenarios like drone intrusions, hostage threats, and gas station fires. The exercise tested how fast and well teams could respond together. It confirmed strong coordination and readiness to protect strategic gas sites.
InnoEnergy helps green transition
InnoEnergy wants to spend about 160 billion EUR in the next five years to help Europe go ecological. The money will go to new tech and clean factories. They will support projects like data centers, green steel, and industries near wind or solar farms. Poland, especially the north, may become a key place for this. InnoEnergy also helps small companies that work on batteries, recycling, and smart heating. They plan to build a group in Poland to connect local firms with big green projects across Europe
Cheaper loans, fewer new home sales, smaller apartments
Some recent findings from Polish housing market:
May 2025 interest rate cut made mortgages more affordable. PKO BP received a 66% jump in loan applications that month. Developers sold over 3,700 new homes, that’s 30% more than in April. Buyers are mostly choosing smaller flats, often paying in cash. [gospodarka, GUS ]
In May, there were 16.4% fewer permits issued for new apartments compared to the same month last year. [ inwestycje.pl ]
By the end of May, 852,800 apartments were under construction, which is 3.6% more than a year earlier. [ PAP Biznes ]
The number of finished apartments in May went down by 1.7% compared to May 2024.
Also during May 2025, developers in Poland started building 6.4% fewer homes than a year earlier. 14,652 units were completed. GUS data shows 20,699 permits were issued, with 12,695 for sale or rent. Individual investors got more permits, up 5.8%. Overall, the market is slowing, especially for big projects
The average flat size was 90.3 square meters. Total floor space dropped 4% from last year. [ inwestycje.pl ]
Fewer rents were listed than last year. Rent stayed near 800 EUR. Warsaw still had the highest prices. Olsztyn had the biggest increase in price. [ strefainwestorow.pl ]
New apartment prices stable in most biggest cities
In the end of Q1 2025, new apartment prices stayed flat in Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Poznań, while they rose in Kraków, Wrocław, and Łódź, and fell slightly in Katowice. The average price per square meter in Warsaw remains the highest at around 3,800-4,200 EUR, while Łódź and Katowice stay lower (Kraków: ~3,900-4,050 EUR; Łódź: ~2,500 EUR; Wrocław: ~3,680 EUR per sq meter). As well there is Katowice typically below 2,400 EUR per sq meter. It seems from the above that the market is stabilizing after last year’s sharp increases. Developers are adjusting supply to match demand, and buyers are more cautious due to high prices and limited support programs.
Mortgage demand in Poland is on its highest in the past 3 years
In May 2025, demand for mortgage loans in Poland rose by almost 47% (YoY), the highest level since 2021. Over 38,000 people applied for home loans, with the average loan amount reaching about 109 thousand EUR. The rise is driven by lower interest rates, stable prices, and expectations of further cuts. This trend may continue in the coming months, especially if banks ease lending rules. However, lack of subsidies could limit access for lower-income buyers.
No new housing support programs till the end of 2025
The government has confirmed there will be no new housing subsidy programs in 2025. The previously announced “First Keys” initiative has been delayed, and the popular “Safe 2% Mortgage” ended in 2023. Officials say the focus is now on social and municipal housing, not market-based support. This leaves first-time buyers without financial help, despite rising prices and limited supply. Experts warn this could slow down demand and widen the gap between income and housing costs.
Developers must now publish full apartment price lists
Starting this Summer, Polish developers will be required to publicly disclose full price lists for all apartments on sale. The new rule aims to increase transparency and help buyers compare offers more easily. Prices must be shown per square meter, including VAT, and updated regularly. The obligation applies to all new residential projects, regardless of size. Buyers’ groups and consumer advocates have welcomed the change, saying it will reduce hidden costs and improve trust in the market.
New energy-efficient Intraco office will be rebuilt by 2030
Polski Holding Nieruchomości (PHN) will demolish the famous Intraco office tower in Warsaw and build a modern skyscraper in its place. The current building has served its purpose since the 70s. Now it no longer meets energy efficiency and functionality standards. The new tower will be quite high - 107 meters with 23 floors, offering 25,000 square meters of office space. PHN expects demolition to take a year and a half, and the construction will start in 2026 (estimated to be completed by 2030).
Polish investors like to choose foreign countries located further away
Polish investors are looking at warm resort-like places. They’re buying homes even in countries like Thailand, the UAE, and the Dominican Republic. These spots offer hot weather, low taxes, and rental income. Some buy for holidays, others for profit. Experts say it’s a growing trend, especially among younger buyers.
EU approves Poland’s KPO update; 6bn EUR for defense investments
The EU Council has accepted changes to Poland’s National Recovery Plan (KPO), unlocking new funding. The revised plan includes over 6 bln EUR for defense-related investments. Funds will support civil protection, shelters, and rail infrastructure in case of emergencies. Poland is the first EU country to direct recovery funds toward national security measures. Before this, previously, the plan also included improving healthcare in Poland by making it easier to access and making it more efficient. Around 4.4 bln EUR will go toward things like better hospitals and funding for medical schools.
Poland won’t join Iran operation
Polish officials said it won’t take part in any military action against Iran. Government spokesperson Adam Szłapka confirmed there are no such plans. Polish troops in Iraq and Kuwait are staying on their missions, which focus on training and cooperation. The government is monitoring the situation and coordinating with allies, but will not engage in active combat in the region.
Poland to mass-produce ammunition at MESKO
As part of the government’s “Project 400,” Poland will increase production at MESKO’s Skarżysko-Kamienna plant to one million small-calibre rounds per day. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced the expansion, aimed at strengthening national defence and achieving ammunition self-sufficiency by 2027. The PLN 466.7 mln project includes building new facilities and upgrading equipment, with completion expected in 2025.
Lubawa producing anti-drone ponchos
Lubawa Group is a Polish company that makes military and safety gear. Miranda, one of its companies, makes special fabrics for camouflage and thermal protection. This Summer, Miranda got a big order for anti-drone ponchos. The deal is worth almost 18 mln EUR. The gear will go to a NATO country’s army by the end of 2025. The ponchos help hide soldiers from drones using heat and night vision.
Poland plans to protect art in case of war
Poland is working on a plan to move valuable art abroad if war breaks out. The culture ministry wants to protect paintings, books, and instruments from almost 160 museums and galleries. They’re talking with other countries about safe storage. The plan is led by a former army officer. It’s part of a bigger effort to prepare for theoretical emergencies.
Defense sector needs workers
Poland’s defense industry will need thousands of new workers by 2035. Deloitte says the country must invest in training and shift labor into defense. The total defense budget for 2025-2035 is expected to reach 430 bln EUR. Deloitte’s 2025 Aerospace and Defense Industry Outlook notes a growing global demand for skilled workers in defense, driven by rising geopolitical tensions and increased military spending. The report notes that talent shortages are a key challenge, with companies needing to attract and train new employees across engineering, manufacturing, and logistics. To meet future needs, the industry is turning to digital tools, AI-driven training, and work-based learning. Defense priorities are also shifting spending toward unmanned systems, space technologies, and advanced manufacturing.
Finnish Va-Varuste expands production in Suwałki, Poland
Va-Varuste Poland, a Finnish company specializing in yacht upholstery and marine textiles, is expanding its manufacturing facility in Suwałki, Poland. The company has received support from the Suwałki Special Economic Zone (SSSE S.A.) for this investment, which includes purchasing real estate, expanding the production plant, and acquiring machinery, software licenses, and renewable energy installations to enhance efficiency and competitiveness. The total eligible investment amounts to PLN 15 mln, with the creation of four new jobs. Va-Varuste Poland currently employs nearly 200 textile professionals and serves major boat manufacturers in Finland and Scandinavia, as well as customers in Central and Southern Europe.
ICEYE Plans IPO as sales are rising, short June reports
Finnish-Polish satellite company ICEYE (that builds radar satellites for defense and disaster response) thinks about significant investments and ways to grow. Their sales hit 200 mln EUR in 2025, which is two times more than last year. Demand is rising, especially from European governments, so ICEYE is meeting with banks to see if it should join the stock market.
During June 2025, the company announced a series of other important developments. It has signed an agreement with German defense giant Rheinmetall to create a joint venture, Rheinmetall ICEYE Space Solutions. Also ICEYE signed a deal with NATO Allied Command Operations to supply SAR satellite data under the Alliance Persistent Surveillance from Space initiative (including ground segment, and antenna to the Portuguese Air Force). On 24 June, it launched six new satellites, including one for the Royal Netherlands Air Force, marking the Netherlands’ first operational military satellite. In addition, earlier, ICEYE secured 250 mln EUR in R&D investment, backed by Business Finland. It also signed a contract with the Portuguese Air Force to deliver SAR satellite capabilities.
Lately, Bloomberg published an article concerning possible IPO of Iceye.

In the first half of 2025, GDDKiA has already signed 10 contracts for about 75 kilometers of new roads, with a total value of over PLN 2.6 bln.
Poland wishes to speed up capital market changes
The country's government wants to make investing easier and safer. In June 2025, the Ministry of Finance of Poland said it will speed up changes to the capital market, including better ESG rules. ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance reporting. The plan includes clearer rules and new tools to help companies get money from investors. It also aims to cut red tape and make the market more attractive for Polish and foreign investors. The ministry says these steps will support business growth and match EU standards. The changes should happen before the end of 2025.
New rules for hiring foreign workers starting June 1, 2025
Starting June 1, 2025, Poland’s new law will simplify the work permit process for foreign workers by replacing the local labor market test with a list of shortage occupations, speeding up approvals in most cases. Both employment and service contracts must now be in writing if only in a foreign language, a certified Polish translation is required - and employers must submit signed contracts electronically before work begins. The entire permit and declaration process is moving online via praca.gov.pl, linked to ZUS and Border Guard systems. Penalties for non-compliance - including illegal employment - have been raised to between PLN 3,000 and 50,000 per violation. Inspections by the Labour Inspectorate and Border Guard no longer require prior notice. These reforms aim to balance labour market efficiency and transparency with stronger safeguards for both foreign workers and domestic employment.
Demand for AI-related skills in job listings rose in 2024
PwC’s 2025 Global AI Jobs Barometer shows that 2.5% of job ads in Poland now require AI skills - the highest share since 2018. While the total number of AI-related postings slightly dropped from 56,000 in 2022 to 52,000 in 2024, demand remains strong. Manufacturing leads with 15.5% of AI job ads, though down from 24.5% in 2018, while professional services have doubled their share to 10%. This reflects growing AI adoption across industries despite a softer job market.
AI Gigafactory: Poland submits EU proposal
Poland will submit an application to the European Commission by June 20, 2025, to join the EU’s gigafactory AI initiative. The project, valued at around 5 bln PLN, includes about 30,000 GPUs and nearly 2 bln PLN in public funding planned for 2026–2029. Instead of a single facility, Poland proposes a distributed network of AI centers in Warsaw, Poznań, Kraków, Wrocław, and Gdańsk. This model aims to boost efficiency, cybersecurity, and leverage existing supercomputing infrastructure. Key projects already in progress include Kraków’s Cyfronet AGH and Poznań’s Piast-AI center. The move aligns with the EU’s broader strategy to strengthen AI capabilities across Europe.
New cash withdrawal limits
Poland is tightening rules on large cash withdrawals. Soon, people may need to report big amounts in advance and collect them in person. From 2027, the EU will set a 10,000 EUR limit on cash payments. Some countries may lower it to 3,000 EUR. In Poland, businesses already can’t pay each other more than 3,450 EUR in cash. Banks also limit ATM withdrawals (often to 180-230 EUR per day) and charge high fees for large amounts.
64% of Polish people consider themselves as entrepreneurial
According to study by ING, Polish people are highly entrepreneurial thinking and even ¼ would like to start their own business. See infographic below for more information.
Ukraine’s Decision may affect Polish economy
Ukraine has stopped consular help for men aged 18-60 abroad who haven’t registered for military service. Many Ukrainians in Poland now can’t renew passports or get documents unless they return home. This could hurt the Polish economy, as many Ukrainian men work in construction, transport, and services. Without valid papers, they may lose jobs and legal status.
Recovering in the middle of war
Ukraine’s economy shows signs of recovery and investment potential, according to KPMG’s 2025 report called “Your Business in Ukraine”. GDP is expected to grow by 4.3-4.6% this and next year, while inflation is gradually declining. The post-war reconstruction, estimated at 423.5 bln EUR, opens major opportunities in construction, energy, logistics, and tech. The EU has given approximately 50 bln EUR in support through 2027. Ukraine is offering investment incentives, including preferential loans and cost reimbursements. Despite a 25% drop in FDI in 2024, 72% came from reinvested profits, showing long-term business confidence. Poland remains a top trade partner, with exports reaching 9.4 bln EUR. War-related disruptions have increased import reliance, while Black Sea export routes are being restored.
Ukraine is set to join the EU’s free roaming zone
Starting January 2026, the free roaming zone will allow Ukrainians to use mobile calls, texts, and data across the EU with no extra cost. The European Commission has submitted the proposal to the EU Council for approval. This marks the first time the EU extends internal market treatment to a non-member country in telecom. Temporary roaming agreements between Ukrainian and EU operators will remain in place until the end of 2025, ensuring continued affordable access.
