The Polish government has unveiled a set of budget targets for 2025, forecasting a 3.7 percent growth in GDP and an average inflation rate of 4.1 percent. These key macroeconomic indicators, approved by Poland’s centrist-liberal government, also predict a 0.7 percent increase in nationwide employment and a 7.1 percent rise in average wages.

The finance ministry anticipates the unemployment rate to be at 4.9 percent by the end of 2025. Furthermore, public and private investment is expected to see a significant boost of 10.2 percent.

In line with these economic goals, the government has proposed an increase in the country’s minimum wage to PLN 4,626 (EUR 1,064, USD 1,148) in 2025, up from PLN 4,300 at the end of this year. This proposal was reported by the state news agency PAP on Thursday.
