IMF concludes mission in Warsaw

An International Monetary Fund mission visited Warsaw during March 14-24 in the context of the 2023 Article IV consultation.

Following an impressive recovery from the pandemic, the Polish economy has been struck by the effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine, which have contributed to high inflation and slowing growth. Poland is graciously hosting 1 million refugees from Ukraine, reflecting the commendable efforts of the authorities and the Polish people. The main policy challenge is to lower inflation back to the target without unduly weakening the economy.
