Poland’s economy posted a modest acceleration in the second quarter of 2026, with gross domestic product (GDP) rising by 1.0% quarter-on-quarter, up from a 0.9% increase in the previous period. The latest figure, updated on 31 August 2026, signals a slight strengthening in short-term economic momentum.
The comparison is made on a quarter-over-quarter basis: the current 1.0% reading reflects the change in GDP in the second quarter relative to the first quarter of 2026, while the prior 0.9% figure measured the first quarter’s performance against the final quarter of the previous year. Although the improvement is marginal, it suggests that Poland’s growth trajectory remains positive heading into the second half of the year.
