2026-05-15 12:09 By Joana Ferreira 1 min. read

Poland’s trade deficit narrowed sharply to €497 million in March 2026, down from a revised €1.53 billion in the same month last year.

Exports surged 7.4% to a record €32.44 billion, driven by strong performance in supply goods, particularly copper and raw silver, which benefited from higher prices.

Capital goods exports also continued their upward trend, fueled by rising computer sales, while agricultural exports rebounded as well after two months of stagnation.

Imports grew at a slower pace of 3.8% but still reached an all-time high of €32.93 billion, primarily due to rising fuel prices.

Other categories, including durable consumer goods, capital goods, and passenger cars, also saw continued growth.

For the first quarter of 2026, the trade gap shrank to €1.29 billion, compared to €2.98 billion in the same period of 2025.
