Magdalena Rzeczkowska made the prediction in an interview with state news agency PAP on Monday.
The finance minister said that Poland's inflation rate "has been falling dynamically," from 18.4 percent in February to 6.5 percent in October, while "economic growth will still be positive this year, at 0.5-1 percent, before rebounding to 3 percent next year."
Rzeczkowska added that "the labour market is strong," with the unemployment rate "at just 2.8 percent in September."
The finance minister also said that, according to international institutions as well as Polish experts, "the economy will accelerate significantly in the coming quarters."
Rzeczkowska told the PAP news agency: "With inflation falling fast, consumer sentiment has improved markedly, reaching a two-year high."
She added: "And so we predict that consumption will rise in the coming months, which will be reflected in a better performance of the economy and higher VAT revenue."
Rzeczkowska also said in the interview that global ratings agencies recognised the "credibility and strong foundations" of the Polish economy, praising its resilience to external shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
S&P Global and Fitch rate Poland at "A-," and Moody's at "A2," with a "stable outlook," the PAP news agency reported.
On Friday, the Fitch agency affirmed Poland's "A-" credit rating with a stable outlook.
