Poland’s imports of engines and medicines may be impacted by war in Israel

The recent attack on Israel by Hamas may indirectly impact the Polish economy. While Poland's exports to Israel constitute a small percentage, imports include items that are challenging to replace, such as jet engines and medicines. The level of Israeli capital involvement in Poland is estimated to be several billion dollars, and Israeli tourists contribute significantly to the economy.

Tensions around the Gaza Strip may affect global prices, with Israel suspending gas extraction and fertilizer production. While Poland exported goods worth nearly PLN 4 billion to Israel in 2022, it represents a fraction of the overall Polish exports. Well-known Israeli brands in Polish shopping centers include Super-Pharm and Cinema City International.
