Poland Hotel Market 2023
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Poland exhibited robust GDP growth, outperforming many EU countries. However, the pandemic induced a significant economic downturn, with Poland’s GDP shrinking by 2% year-over-year, better than the EU average decline of 6.1%. Recovery began in 2022, bolstered by expansionary fiscal policies, a strong labour market, and an influx of Ukrainian citizens. Nevertheless, inflation surged to 10.3% in July 2023, among the highest in the EU, with energy prices contributing significantly. Poland’s GDP is expected to grow moderately at 0.7% in 2023 and 2.7% in 2024, with inflation projected to remain high at 12.6% in 2023 and 7.9% in 2024.
