Poland has risen to 26th place in the Responsible Development Index

In 2022, Poland progressed to the 26th position from 33rd in 2021 in the Responsible Development Index (IOR), as reported by the Polish Economic Institute (PIE). This marked the sole advancement within the Visegrad Group nations. Nordic countries maintained their dominance at the top of the list, claiming half of the top ten spots. The IOR, introduced by PIE in 2019 as an alternative to GDP, assesses current and future prosperity, non-wage factors, and climate responsibility. Comprising nine indicators from sources like the World Bank and the European Commission, the index evaluated 40 countries in its latest analysis. Poland's ascent in the IOR ranking to 26th was attributed to increased disposable income and consumption in 2022, outpacing other Visegrad Group nations. However, areas for improvement persist, particularly in the non-wage factors category, where both Poland and the Visegrad Group scored lower than the European Union average.
