PMI index in Polish industry highest level in three years
In March 2025, Poland’s manufacturing PMI rose slightly to 50.7 points from 50.6 in February, marking the third consecutive month of improvement and the highest reading in three years. Production and new orders increased, with export orders rising for the first time since early 2021, driven by stronger demand from the EU, especially Germany.
Business optimism hit its highest level since mid-2021, supported by new products, infrastructure investment, KPO funds, and expectations of further recovery. However, Lewiatan warns the rebound may be short-lived, fueled by fears of a trade war, especially under Donald Trump’s potential policies. While costs and finished goods prices rose, inflationary pressure remains moderate, helped by a strong złoty.
