Polish-German trade turnover rises to new record

Bilateral trade turnover between Poland and Germany has reached a new record of €167.7 billion ( PLN 794.80 billion) in 2022. This was the information provided by the German Federal Statistical Office. Poland has thus defended its fifth place among Germany's most important trade partners behind China, the Netherlands, the United States, and France.

Poland's exports across the western border rose by about 12 percent to €77.32 billion (PLN 366.45 billion) in 2022, while imports of German goods increased by almost 15 percent to €90.26 billion ( PLN 427.78 billion).

"Despite significant turbulence in recent years, bilateral trade has proved stable for our two countries," Dr. Lars Gutheil, director general and board member of the German-Polish Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Poland), stressed.

AHK Poland is also seeing increased interest in German investment in Poland. In 2022, the chamber of commerce received about twice as many inquiries from potential investors as in the previous year.
