Republic of Poland: 2009 Article IV Consultation: Staff Report; Public Information Notice on the Executive Board Discussion; and Statement by the Executive Director for the Republic of Poland, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2009) accessed November 21, 2024

Summary

This 2009 Article IV Consultation highlights that Poland’s rapid growth had begun to lose steam even before the global crisis hit. Following robust and relatively well-balanced expansion, driven by an EU accession-related investment boom and rapid credit and wage growth, economic activity began to slow down in the face of capacity constraints. Executive Directors have noted that a significant deceleration in economic activity is under way, reflecting adverse spillovers through real and financial channels. They have also commended the authorities for the timely, well-focused, and measured policy response.
