Poland’s investment spending grew by 4.2% in 2025, but the investment rate remained unchanged at 17% of GDP.
Investment Growth Accelerates
For years, Poland has struggled with investment spending significantly lower than the EU average. In 2025, there was a clear improvement with fixed asset investment increasing by 4.2%, reversing the 0.9% decline in 2024.
Central Statistical Office President Marek Cierpiał-Wolan noted that the growth rate of investments exceeded GDP growth, marking a positive development.
Investment Rate Remains Unchanged
Despite the growth, the investment rate (investment as a percentage of GDP) remained at 17%, unchanged from 2025. GDP increased in real terms by 3.6% in 2025.
Economic Growth Driven by Domestic Demand
The acceleration in economic growth was primarily driven by domestic demand. Poland’s GDP dynamics surpassed the European Union forecast by more than 2 percentage points, indicating a clear improvement from the previous year.
