### Key findings on growth and convergence
- Poland has achieved substantial economic convergence within the EU.
- Labor productivity growth was robust until the disruptions from coronavirus disease.
- Poland has closed on Europe’s productivity frontier in most sectors.
- Moving forward, the labor supply is expected to comprise a substantial drag on potential output.

### Potential growth projections
- Using a production function approach, IMF now estimates that Poland’s potential growth will remain solid, but gradually decline, reaching 2.7 percent by 2029.

### Principal policy recommendations
- Deepen capital to support productive capacity.
- Facilitate resource reallocation to improve allocative efficiency.
- Support labor supply through policies that raise participation and reduce demographic drag.
- Enhance innovation capacity to sustain growth beyond technology adoption.

### Labor market and skills priorities
- Strengthen vocational training and skill-matching to improve skills and allocative efficiency.
- Raise labor force participation among older cohorts, complemented by enhancing adult learning.

### Innovation and finance priorities
- Transition from technology adoption toward innovation-driven growth to sustain convergence.
- Reorient government incentives and the financial system to create a conducive environment for R&D and other innovation activities, including by promoting private equity and venture capital.
