Polish Central Statistical Office’s (GUS) recent data highlight Poland’s industrial production dip of 2.7% in July year-on-year. Additionally, the producer price inflation (PPI) experienced a -1.7% deflation rate, the first in over two years. This year has seen a continuous downtrend in the industry, notably deviating from the predicted -0.6% market consensus.
Economic forecasts are closely watched as negative metrics impact the GDP. Data shows a GDP decline of 0.5% between April and June, following Q1’s 0.3% dip. Nonetheless, 2023’s GDP growth predictions remain optimistic, estimated between 0.4% and 0.7%.
Deputy Finance Minister, Artur Soboń, stressed there’s no looming recession. Meanwhile, Paweł Borys of the Polish Development Fund emphasized Poland’s strong economic indicators, citing low unemployment and real wage growth.
