Poland is making a bold push to surpass Western economies, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on Monday. Investments exceeding 650 billion zlotys (€155 billion) are planned for 2025, with the figure potentially reaching 700 billion zlotys (€167 billion), marking an all-time high in Poland’s economic history.
The government will allocate funds to railway expansion, port upgrades, green energy projects, and advanced technology, including AI. Tusk also confirmed ongoing discussions with Microsoft and Google to finalize significant investments in Poland.
Energy security remains a priority, with Poland advancing plans for a second nuclear power plant. Tusk emphasized that a stable energy supply is crucial for attracting and maintaining investments.
Poland has steadily strengthened its economy, growing 2.9% in 2024 compared to Germany’s 0.2% contraction. The government anticipates near 4% GDP growth in 2025, supported by over €50 billion in EU funds unlocked last year.
Tusk highlighted Poland’s transition from aiming to catch up with wealthier nations to striving to surpass them. His administration has revised previous infrastructure plans, including a deepwater container port in Świnoujście and modernizing railways, with 180 billion zlotys (€43 billion) earmarked for railway investments by 2032.
By 2030, Poland aims to triple cargo handling in its ports, reinforcing its role as a key logistics hub in Europe. With ambitious investments in infrastructure and technology, Poland is positioning itself as a rising economic power in the region.
