Poland plans $160 billion investment for 2025 growth

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that investments in Poland are expected to exceed 650 billion zlotys ($160 billion) in 2025, with the possibility of reaching closer to 700 billion zlotys. This ambitious investment plan, the highest in the country's history, aims to bolster sectors such as green energy, transportation infrastructure, and technology. Tusk emphasized the importance of unlocking over 50 billion euros from the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility to achieve these goals, which include a significant increase in container throughput at Polish ports by 2030. The government also plans to improve energy security through investments in renewable energy and a potential second nuclear power plant. Despite Tusk's optimistic outlook, some lawmakers expressed skepticism over the specifics of the plan. Overall, the government is targeting economic growth of nearly 4% in 2025 as Poland seeks to compete with wealthier Western European nations.
