Poland’s central bank last month updated its GDP growth forecasts for the country, saying it expected the economy to expand 3.7 percent this year, followed by 2.9 percent in 2026 and 2.3 percent in 2027.

Poland's president in January signed the country's budget for 2025, which expects the economy to grow 3.9 percent this year.

The Polish economy grew 2.9 percent in 2024, after expanding by 0.1 percent in 2023, according to a preliminary estimate by the state-run statistics office.
