The GDP dynamics of Poland in 2019 should amount to above 4 percent, it may rise to 4.5 percent, the Finance and Investment Minister Jerzy Kwieciński told reporters.

“As the Minister of Finance, I say that GDP growth in 2019 will be above 4 percent, and as the Minister of Investment and Development – 4.5 percent,” Kwieciński estimated.

In the macroeconomic assumptions for the draft budget for 2020, the government assumed that the GDP growth rate in 2019 will be 4.0 percent. During the last conference after the meeting of the Monetary Policy Council, NBP President Adam Glapiński announced that according to the latest NBP forecasts, Poland's GDP growth in 2019 will amount to 4.3 percent, which means a downward revision of the GDP path relative to the July projection of 0.2 percentage points.
