Polish Industry Production Falls Below Expectations

Poland's industrial production in February 2025 dropped by 1.2 percent y/y, significantly below market expectations. Analysts had anticipated a milder decline of around 0.4 percent. This marks a continuation of the downward trend observed in January when production fell 1.6 percent. Sectors most affected include manufacturing and energy production, facing challenges from high energy costs and weakened demand.
Economists warn that ongoing declines may impact GDP growth projections, as industry remains a vital part of the Polish economy. The government is urged to implement supportive measures to stabilize the sector.
