According to the International Monetary Fund, the Polish economy developed at a rate of 4% in 2019, i.e. much faster than the average growth rate in the Euro Zone and the entire European Union (1.2% and 1.5%, respectively). Despite suffering a setback in 2020 due to the global coronavirus pandemic,  the Polish economy recovered swiftly, achieving an impressive 5.1% GDP growth in 2021 and projected 4.6% in 2022.

The foreign trade turnover of goods once again reached a record high level in 2019. Exports amounted to EUR 235.8 billion, signifying a 5.5% increase (y / y), and imports amounted to nearly EUR 234 billion (an increase by 2.6% y / y). Considering the significant volatility of factors that surrounded Poland and its economy, including a lower foreign demand from our trading partners and slowdown of global trade, as well as uncertainty related to customs policies and the UK's exit from the European Union, the overall turnover results for 2019 should be considered more than satisfactionary. The collapse of the world economy that occurred as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 also had a negative impact on the Polish economy, although to a significantly lesser extent than in most countries - Poland's exports at the end of 2020 amounted to EUR 237.5 billion (a decrease by 0.27% y / y) while imports for the same period reached EUR 225.5 billion (a decrease by 4.83% y / y). Rapid economic rebound later in the year bodes well for the coming years.
