Executive summary and main findings

• Poland is the only country in the European Union that avoided an outright recession during the global financial crisis.
• Factors cited for this resilience:
  • "sound policies"
  • "close links to the German supply chain"
  • "substantial EU transfers"
• The strong aggregate performance has masked "enduring regional disparities," which are "undermining the quality of growth."
• Poland faces significant long-term challenges as "an aging population weighs on potential growth and public finances."
• The new government, which "took office in November," has approved a "Responsible Development Plan" focused on:
  • spurring growth through innovation
  • reducing social and regional disparities
