Long-term horizon

  • Poland is a trillion US dollar economy (Top-20 in the world). Nominal growth and real convergence expected to continue through 2030
  • By 2030, Poland to largely close GDP per capita gap vs. EU average (below 50% in 2004)

  • Poland's energy transition requiring massive investments:
  • PLN ~1 trillion in 2026-2030, as part of estimated PLN ~3.6 trillion by 2040
  • EU funds are crucial over € 135 billion already allocated for 2021–2027 (plus new instruments like Social Climate Fund 2026–2032)
  • More capex on automation and digitalization (e.g. Al solutions)
  • Positive outlooks for private consumption (3.5% annual growth)
  • Tight labor market with unemployment rate around 3%

Banking sector

  • Credit growth picking up as stronger economy and lower interest rates boost demand for financing among both households and corporates
  • Loan-to-deposit ratio falling, as high fiscal deficits are reflected in strong dynamics of non-financial sector deposits
