Ukrainians' spending in Poland to increase again
14:16
According to the recruitment company Personnel Service, Ukrainian spending in Poland in the first three months of this year amounted to PLN 1.41 billion. This is more than double compared to the previous year.
This brings us back to the pre-pandemic levels. From 2014 to 2019, Ukrainians spent an average of PLN 1.42 billion per year on shopping and services in our country. The record was set in 2017 when expenditures reached nearly PLN 1.7 billion.
Experts from Personnel Service point out that the increase in spending is a consequence of the continued high traffic at the Polish border. Ukrainians crossed the Polish border 3.74 million times in the first three months of this year. It was even higher the previous year at 4.11 million crossings, but the expenditures were significantly lower at that time.
