The dollar so weak złoty has approached the profitability barrier for Polish exports
The U.S. dollar has weakened significantly, nearing the profitability threshold for Polish exports, set at 3.73 PLN. However, most Polish exports are settled in euros, while imports—especially of fuels—are paid in dollars, so the macroeconomic impact is limited. The dollar's fall stems from U.S. trade policy uncertainty and tariff threats under President Trump, causing a 10% drop from its January peak.
For Poland, a weak dollar means cheaper imports, especially energy, which could ease inflation. While it challenges sectors exporting to the U.S., especially machinery, the broader effect is mitigated. Strong euro revenues and cheaper dollar-priced imports create a favorable balance, reducing inflation risks and aiding economic stability in the short term.
