The Polish economy has proved surprisingly resilient so far. Industry has performed strongly in the first months of 2022, despite the unfavourable conditions. But growth will slow in 2022 and beyond. Rising interest rates are affecting consumption and investment, and inflation is eroding the real value of current incomes. In addition, the export prospects look less promising than before the war. To cap it all, essential imports (e.g. energy, metals) may be in short supply, or else become prohibitively expensive.
