Poland’s external position deteriorated in June 2026 as the country’s current account deficit more than doubled compared with the previous month. The balance swung from a shortfall of EUR -1,071 million in May 2026 to EUR -2,216 million in June 2026, according to data updated on 13 August 2026.
The figures indicate mounting pressure on Poland’s external accounts at the end of the second quarter, with the June reading marking a notably deeper deficit than in May. While the data release does not provide details on the drivers of the widening gap, the increased negative balance underscores a further mismatch between Poland’s earnings from abroad and its payments to the rest of the world over the period.
The June 2026 print, published in mid-August, will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess the sustainability of Poland’s external financing and its potential implications for the broader macroeconomic outlook.
