Poland’s economy expanded by 3.5% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2026, marking a slight slowdown from the 3.9% growth recorded in the second quarter of 2026. The latest gross domestic product (GDP) figures, updated on 13 November 2026, indicate that while the country continues to grow at a solid pace, the momentum has softened compared with the previous quarter.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each quarter to the same period a year earlier. The moderation from 3.9% to 3.5% suggests that the Polish economy is still expanding, but at a gradually cooler rate as the year progresses. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming data closely to assess whether this deceleration is temporary or the start of a more sustained easing in growth.
