FX.co ★ Poland’s Manufacturing PMI Edges Higher in May but Remains in Contraction Zone

Poland’s manufacturing sector showed signs of stabilisation in May 2026, as the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI rose to 49.40 from 48.80 in April 2026. While the improvement signals a moderation in the pace of decline, the indicator remains below the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction.

The latest reading, updated on 01 June 2026, suggests that operating conditions in Polish manufacturing are still under pressure, but the gap toward neutral territory has narrowed compared with the previous month. Market participants and policymakers will be watching upcoming data to assess whether this tentative recovery can push the index into expansion in the coming months.
