Poland

Panorama económico e industrial

Poland is the largest economy in Central and Eastern Europe, with a nominal GDP exceeding 900 billion USD in 2024 and a track record of sustained growth averaging around 3 to 4 percent annually over the past decade. The economy is diversified across manufacturing, financial services, energy, retail, information technology, and agriculture, benefiting from deep integration into European Union supply chains. The Warsaw Stock Exchange is the dominant bourse in the region by market capitalisation and number of listings. Poland has maintained one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU, with the labour force survey rate hovering near 3 percent. The country completed a successful transition from a centrally planned to a market economy after 1989 and has attracted substantial foreign direct investment over the past three decades.
