The Polish economy is accelerating. The latest data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) on GDP
In the second quarter of 2025, the growth of GDP rose to 3.4 percent, up from 3.2 percent in the first quarter, according to the Central Statistical Office. „The economy is gaining momentum,” analysts at ING Bank Śląski remarked in their commentary.
As per a preliminary estimate, the gross domestic product (GDP) unadjusted for seasonal factors in the second quarter of 2025 experienced a 3.4% year-on-year increase in real terms, compared to a 3.2% rise during the same quarter of 2024.
„These figures are preliminary and may be revised, in line with the policy on revisions applicable to quarterly national accounts, when the first detailed GDP estimate for the second quarter of 2025 is released on September 1, 2025,” the Central Statistical Office highlighted in a press statement.
„The economy is gaining momentum”
„The economy is gaining momentum. In the second quarter of 2025, Poland’s GDP increased by 3.4% year-on-year, bolstered by the continued expansion of the service sector, while the industrial sector remained stagnant and the construction sector faced a downturn,” ING Bank Śląski economists noted in a commentary on the X portal (formerly known as Twitter).
„From the perspective of expenditures, the primary driver of growth is private consumption, with a notable rise in investments primarily in the public sector,” it was emphasized.
Analysts from mBank remarked that the Central Statistical Office data did not present any „surprises,” and the positive trend in the economy persisted.
„There are no surprises in the GDP figures for the second quarter of 2025 – growth accelerated to 3.4% year-on-year from 3.2% year-on-year in the first quarter. In comparison to the previous quarter, GDP rose by 0.8%, following a 0.7% quarter-on-quarter increase in 1Q25,” analysts from PKO BP stated in their commentary.
„The figures align with our macroeconomic scenario – it is likely that economic growth will remain close to the current rate throughout 2025, and we anticipate further acceleration in 2026,” they added.
