The Polish economy has slowed significantly amid still-high inflation. Following a rapid recovery from the pandemic, the Polish economy grew 5.1 percent in 2022, though the economy slowed considerably later in the year. With high inflation eroding real wage growth and investment facing headwinds from energy prices and interest rates, economic growth is projected at 0.3 percent in 2023 before a projected rebound in 2024. Over the medium term, Poland’s potential growth is projected to remain around 3 percent, with strong investment, supported by Next Generation EU grants, temporarily offsetting the negative effects of population aging.
