The bank said on Wednesday it now expects the Polish economy to grow 3.2 percent in 2025, which is 0.2 percentage points lower than its January forecast.
In 2026, Poland's GDP is projected to grow 3 percent, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the World Bank's previous prediction, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
Earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) also cut its economic growth forecast for Poland in 2025 to 3.2 percent, from an earlier projection of 3.5 percent.
The IMF said it expected the Polish economy to expand 3.1 percent in 2026.
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.
President Andrzej Duda in January signed Poland'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.
