NBP: to maintain rapid GDP growth, Poland needs cheaper energy, AI and exports
15:17
NBP President Adam Glapiński said Poland needs cheaper energy, stronger AI development and more competitive exports to sustain rapid GDP growth. He identified five major challenges, including high energy prices, weak growth among key EU trading partners, rising competition from Chinese manufacturers, unfavorable demographics and the need to shift resources toward a knowledge-based economy. Glapiński argued that Polish exporters should expand into more distant markets and that investment in research, automation and AI will require affordable energy.
He said Poland has strong potential due to its human capital, entrepreneurship and growing high-value-added sectors. He also stressed that NBP must remain independent to maintain long-term price stability and support economic convergence.
