The Polish economy advanced by 4% year-on-year in the final quarter of 2025, confirming preliminary estimates and accelerating from a 3.8% expansion in the previous quarter.
The latest figure also marked the fastest growth since the third quarter of 2022, driven by stronger domestic demand (4.2% vs 3.6% in Q3).
Household (2.1% vs 2%) and public consumption (1.7% vs 1.5%) both increased, while fixed investment remained solid (1% vs 1.1%).
Although inventories (-0.6% vs -1%) continued to weigh on overall performance, their negative impact eased compared to the prior quarter, allowing capital formation (0.4% vs 0.1%) to contribute positively to growth.
Meanwhile, net exports (-0.2% vs 0.2%) exerted a slight drag on the economy.
On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the economy expanded by 1% in the fourth quarter, the strongest growth for the year, following a 0.9% rise in the preceding period.
