FX.co ★ Poland Industrial Output Rises More than Expected

In April 2025, Poland's industrial production saw a 1.2% increase compared to the previous year, which marks a slowdown from the revised 2.4% growth observed in March. Nonetheless, this figure exceeded market predictions, which anticipated only a 0.7% rise. The manufacturing sector experienced reduced growth at 1.7%, down from 3.0% in March, and the water supply, sewerage, and waste management sector also slowed to 1.4% from 1.9%. Conversely, the decline in the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning sector eased slightly to -1.7% as compared to -2% previously, while the mining and quarrying sector's output worsened, plummeting by 10.6% as opposed to a 6.0% drop the prior month. Month-over-month, industrial production decreased by 3.5%, which is a shift from the substantial revised growth of 8.5% seen in March.
