FX.co ★ Poland’s Trade Deficit Widens in December

Poland’s goods trade deficit widened to €2.30 billion in December 2025 from €1.99 billion a year earlier, as import growth slightly exceeded that of exports. Imports rose 10.1% year-on-year to €29.65 billion, driven by stronger demand for capital goods—particularly computers—as well as for intermediate goods such as semi-finished iron and steel products. Exports increased at a slightly slower rate of 9.7%, reaching €27.35 billion. Export growth was supported mainly by higher shipments of agricultural products and other consumer goods. Overseas sales of computers also picked up, along with intermediate goods and transport equipment components, especially aircraft engines. For the whole of 2025, Poland’s goods balance shifted to a €6.30 billion deficit, reversing the €2.59 billion surplus recorded in 2024.
