Poland Becomes EU's No. 6 Economy at €922.9 Billion as Growth Tops Bloc
3 articles · Updated · Euronews · Aug 9
Summary
€922.9 billion in nominal GDP lifted Poland to sixth place in the EU in 2025, giving it a 4.9% share of the bloc's roughly €18.8 trillion economy.
3.6% real GDP growth helped drive that rise, outpacing the EU's 1.5% expansion after years of industrial development, stronger exports, and rising consumption and investment.
Only Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands ranked above Poland, which moved ahead of Belgium, Sweden, Ireland and Austria.
In Central and Eastern Europe, Poland remained the clear leader, far larger than Romania at €380.1 billion, the Czech Republic at €347.3 billion and Hungary at €218.8 billion.
GDP per capita still lagged the bloc despite the bigger economy, with Poland remaining below 85% of the EU average in 2025.
