European Commission: Inflation in Poland in 2023 will be the highest in Europe

The European Commission is lowering its economic growth forecast for Poland this year. This is the effect of the collapse of trade with Russia and Ukraine and the rise in inflation. The European Commission expects that next year’s prices in our country will grow as fast as possible in Europe.

The European Commission published a report in which it significantly lowered its forecast for economic growth for Europe. According to her, in 2022 the EU economy will grow by 2.7 percent. (Previous forecasts assumed an increase of 4%), and in 2023 – 2.3%. (previously 2.8%).

According to the European Commission, Poland’s economic growth in 2022 will be 3.7%, and in 2023 our economy will grow by an average of 3%.

However, these factors have already been affected by the difficulties related to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the European Commission, in 2023, inflation in our country will reach 7.3 percent.
