Investments will be made, in particular, in transportation infrastructure and green energy

Investments in Poland in 2025 will amount to more than 650 billion zlotys ($160 billion), Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, according to Reuters.

The forecast was announced during the presentation of the government’s economic plan, a package of measures that includes tax cuts and deregulation to stimulate growth.

According to Tusk, investments will be made in sectors such as defense, green energy, information technology and transportation infrastructure. He also said that the country will invest 180 billion zlotys in railways by 2032.

In recent years, the country’s economy has been one of the fastest growing in Europe. However, analysts note that investment is a weak point for Poland, which is trying to catch up with wealthier Western European countries.

Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski said that Poland will increase its spending on research and technology, as well as the development of ports and railways. The country will work to support businesses as the government seeks to build a strong, dynamic and resilient economy.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2024, Polish steelmakers increased steel production by 10.1% compared to 2023, from 6.4 million tons to 7.1 million tons. Thus, the country was ranked 25th in the global ranking of steel producing countries (71) by World Steel.  Last year, the Polish steel industry reversed the downward trend that had been going on since 2022.
