World Bank: Poland's GDP growth at 3.5% in 2015

Poland's economic growth will reach 3.6 percent this year and is expected to achieve an average overall growth of 3.5 percent over the medium term, according to the World Bank. "Unlike in the two previous years, GDP growth will stand at 3.5 percent in 2015 and will stay above 3.5 percent in the medium term, contributing to reducing poverty," said the EU Regular Economic Report from Fall 2015. Domestic demand was the main driver of growth, owing to strong private consumption (3.5 percent). The World Bank expects to see general government deficit at three percent GDP this year and at 3.2 percent next year.
