Europe losing foreign investment as Poland attracts more
Europe is facing growing difficulties in attracting foreign investment, but Poland is a notable exception. According to EY’s European Attractiveness Survey 2025, foreign direct investment (FDI) projects across Europe fell by 7% to 5,026, while Poland recorded a 10% increase, reaching 285 projects.
While major economies such as France, the UK, and Germany experienced significant declines, Central and Eastern Europe gained momentum. Poland’s success is driven by supply-chain reorganization, competitive labor costs, available industrial land, strong economic growth, infrastructure funding, and increased investment in defense and data centers. Warsaw also climbed 21 places to become Europe’s fifth most attractive city for investors. However, maintaining this position will require lower energy costs, faster infrastructure development, and continued investment in technology, defense, and innovation sectors.
