Thanks to Brexit, France has become the third-largest market for goods from Poland, after Germany and the Czech Republic, said the Polish Economic Institute (PIE). Analysts pointed out that Great Britain's exit from the EU single market resulted in a decrease in its share in Polish exports.
The share of France in Polish exports of goods in January-August 2021 was 5.8 percent and was by 0.2 percentage points higher than in 2020 and by 0.3 percentage points higher than in 2015, the last year before the Brexit referendum.
"France alone has become the third-largest market for goods from Poland, behind Germany and the Czech Republic,” results from the PIE analysis.
The PIE study based on GUS data shows that the commodity structure of Polish exports to France is, with few exceptions, similar to the sales structure in the German market and results mainly from mutual Polish-French cooperation within global supply chains. The most important groups of exported products are electrical appliances; motor vehicles and their parts; computers and electronic and optical products.
