National Bank of Poland lowers it´s forecasts of Poland's economic growth

The experts of the National Bank of Poland have no doubts. The war in Ukraine will also have a negative impact on the Polish economy.

In the previous December-January edition of the survey, the central forecast predicted an increase of 4.3%. in 2022 and 4 percent. in 2023

Forecast for the GDP in 2022 is 3.9%

The central forecast for 2022 is 3.9%, and for 2023 and 2024 it is 3.2%.
