November data from the Polish Economic Institute’s Monthly Economic Index (MIK) confirm that investing in Poland is becoming more attractive. The MIK index rose to 108.5 points in November 2025, reaching its highest level in four years. This is the second consecutive month in which the index has remained above the neutral level (100 points), which means that positive sentiment prevails over negative sentiment among entrepreneurs.
Strong foundations for investing in Poland
The 5.3-point month-on-month increase in the MIK indicates a dynamic economic rebound. This result is primarily due to positive assessments by companies in five of the seven key areas of activity: sales, new orders, employment, wages and financial liquidity. A particularly strong signal comes from the investment sector: 60% of large and 40% of medium-sized companies declare that they are implementing investments at a level equal to or higher than in the previous quarter.
This proves that entrepreneurs perceive investing in Poland as safe and promising, especially in the context of stabilising inflation, growing domestic demand and financial support from EU funds.
The Polish economy is entering a phase of stable growth
PIE data shows that all seven components of the MIK improved year-on-year – for the first time this year. Such a broad improvement in sentiment is a sign of a sustained recovery.
As Andrzej Kubisiak, Deputy Director of PIE, emphasises:
‘The November MIK reading confirms the acceleration of the recovery in the Polish economy. The index value of 108.5 points is the highest result in four years, i.e. since the economic recovery after the pandemic lockdowns.’
Forecasts by the International Monetary Fund, the National Bank of Poland and the Ministry of Finance predict that GDP growth will remain high in the coming years, with a simultaneous decline in inflation and low unemployment. In this context, investing in Poland appears to be an attractive strategy for companies seeking stable conditions and a predictable business environment.
Sectors with the greatest potential for investors
In the November survey, the most positive sentiment was observed in services (111.4 points), manufacturing (110.4 points) and trade (104.1 points). These three industries not only exceeded the neutral level, but also recorded a clear month-on-month increase.
The services sector saw particularly strong growth in sales and new orders – an area that attracts both foreign investors and Polish companies developing their export activities.
Slightly weaker sentiment persists in construction (94.2 points) and transport-logistics (97.5 points), but even there, an improvement in financial liquidity and an increase in declarations of maintaining employment can be observed.
Stable labour market and improving financial liquidity
Over 80% of companies declare that they will maintain their employment and remuneration levels, which confirms the stability of the labour market – one of the key factors favouring investment in Poland.
At the same time, the financial liquidity index reached a record level of 136 points, which means that most companies have sufficient funds to operate for at least three months without the risk of losing liquidity.
Key challenges for entrepreneurs
Although the outlook is positive, some companies still point to barriers: high labour costs (67%) and economic uncertainty (60%). However, there is a clear downward trend in other areas – fewer and fewer companies complain about energy prices, payment backlogs or financing costs. Compared to 2021, the energy problem now affects significantly fewer companies (47% vs. 70%).
Investing in Poland – time for strategic decisions
The current economic climate is conducive to long-term investments.
Poland, as a stable economy with growing domestic demand, a favourable location in the centre of Europe and a well-educated workforce, remains one of the most attractive places to invest in Central and Eastern Europe.
The November MIK is a sign that the Polish business sector is entering a phase of sustained recovery. For foreign investors, this is the moment to take a closer look at local partners, growing industries and regional industrial hubs – because investing in Poland right now has exceptionally strong economic foundations.
