Immigration’s contribution to Poland’s GDP growth at 10% in 2014-18

The contribution of immigration to Poland’s GDP growth in 2014-2018 amounted to 10%, according to the “The contribution of immigration from Ukraine to economic growth in Poland” presentation that has been published on the NBP website. According to the study, the potential for further increase in immigration from Ukraine is limited.

“There are many similarities between the immigration from Ukraine to Poland and the Polish emigration to the UK and Germany. Over time, the nature of immigration changes from temporary to permanent, and the pay gap between immigrants and native citizens should narrow,” NBP estimates.
