Poland’s economy amongst growth leaders in EU
Poland has become one of the strongest EU economies post-pandemic, ranking 4th in GDP growth in Q2 2024 compared to pre-COVID levels. From a longer-term perspective since the 2008 financial crisis, Poland leads the EU, with GDP growth nearing 60%. Romania is second with 37%.
Germany, however, has seen minimal growth (0.3%), while Finland’s economy shrank (-0.1%). Greece performed the worst since 2008, with GDP still 18% below pre-crisis levels.
Overall, the EU economy grew by 4.5% since 2019, with the eurozone lagging slightly behind. Poland’s growth is driven by diversified strategies, but experts suggest the current model may need to adapt.
