Economist: Poland’s investment to GDP is lowest in region
According to Kamil Sobolewski, chief economist of Pracodawcy RP, Poland has been held back by a decade-long investment slowdown that now threatens future growth. The investment-to-GDP ratio is among the lowest in the region, and companies are underinvesting by around PLN 250 billion annually. Without urgent state action to unlock private financing, Poland risks losing competitiveness and long-term prosperity.
Sobolewski warns that demand without investment fuels imports rather than domestic growth, weakening production capacity. While public investment is relatively strong, corporate investment remains far below regional peers. He argues that reforms to stimulate bank lending, improve regulatory stability, and mobilize private capital could fuel 5–7 years of investment-driven growth.
