Statistics Poland has revised its quarterly GDP estimates for 2024–2025, but the headline figure for last year remained unchanged. Real GDP growth in 2025 still stood at 3.6%, while fourth-quarter growth was revised slightly higher, from 4.0% to 4.1% year on year.
The statistical office said the update reflected more complete annual data, including corporate financial results, foreign trade figures, government sector accounts and administrative records. The revision adjusted some quarterly growth paths and GDP components, but did not change the overall picture of the economy.
For 2024, non-seasonally adjusted GDP growth was revised up in every quarter by 0.2 percentage points, lifting full-year growth to 3.2%. For 2025, revisions were limited. The first three quarters were left unchanged, while the final quarter was revised slightly upward.
The updated data suggests Poland’s economy ended 2025 on a somewhat stronger footing than previously estimated. Seasonally adjusted data showed a firmer second half of the year, with the third and fourth quarters both revised higher.
Domestic demand remained the main engine of growth. Statistics Poland revised up its contribution to GDP, confirming that the economy continued to rely primarily on internal demand rather than external markets. Consumer demand remained broadly stable, with no major changes in the assessment of household spending.
Investment data, however, saw more meaningful adjustments. While the first half of 2025 was weaker than previously estimated, the fourth quarter was revised sharply higher, pointing to a stronger year-end rebound in capital spending. That made investment one of the main factors behind the improved late-year picture.
At the same time, foreign demand continued to weigh on growth. The revised data showed a slightly more negative external contribution, underlining that Poland’s economy was still being supported mainly by domestic rather than international drivers.
