Poland Economic Outlook
October 3, 2017
Robust consumption dynamics have been the economic story to beat in Poland for over a year, and they remain critical to the country’s growth prospects, having shown no signs of abating thus far in H2. Hinting that household spending remained upbeat since its impressive outturn in Q2, retail sales continued their ascent in August while unemployment ticked down. Other indicators pointed to an acceleration in industrial activity, with industrial output jumping in August on strong growth in the energy sector, and the manufacturing PMI reaching a six-month high in September as new orders soared. That said, the sluggishness of investment—another long-running economic story that had registered a small turnaround in Q2—appeared to worsen in Q3, with business confidence edging down through the quarter.Poland Economy Data

Poland Economic Growth
October 3, 2017
Household spending is expected to bolster growth this year and next. Moreover, investment is expected to make a full recovery this year and then improve sharply as EU funding continues ramping up. Strong demand from Europe will keep upward pressure on export growth, although consumption-driven imports will limit the sector’s contribution to growth. Downside risks continue to stem from the ongoing dispute between the government and Brussels over judicial reforms. FocusEconomics panelists expect GDP to grow 3.9% in 2017 and 3.5% in 2018, which is up 0.1 percentage points from last month’s forecast.Poland Economic News
