Poland’s economy continued its steady expansion in the second quarter of 2026, with year-on-year GDP growth rising to 3.8%, up from 3.5% in the first quarter of the year. The figures, updated as of 13 August 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in activity, reinforcing the picture of a gradually strengthening recovery.
Both the first and second quarter readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring growth against the same quarters a year earlier. The uptick from Q1 to Q2 suggests that the positive momentum in Poland’s output is holding firm, with the economy managing to build slightly on the gains recorded at the start of 2026.
