Spanish Media: Poland is the new industrial heart of Europe
Spanish business daily Cinco Días writes that Poland is becoming the new industrial heart of Europe, even as internal political conflict may threaten future growth. While Germany and France struggle to revive their economies, Poland’s industrial sector — including automotive, food production, and growing defense spending — is driving strong expansion. According to IMF forecasts cited by the paper, Poland’s GDP is expected to grow above 3% annually in the coming years, far faster than most European economies. EU funds also play an important role.
However, the newspaper warns that political tensions between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki, as well as uncertainty linked to the war in Ukraine, could pose medium-term risks to Poland’s economic ambitions.
