Poland introduces Personal Investment Accounts and reports 3.8% GDP growth
Poland is implementing significant economic and fiscal changes. President Karol Nawrocki has signed the law introducing Personal Investment Accounts (OKI), which are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027. These accounts aim to stimulate the domestic capital market by offering tax exemptions on investment assets up to 100,000 PLN and savings assets up to 25,000 PLN. Assets exceeding these limits will be subject to a new tax based on asset value, estimated at approximately 0.85% in 2027.
On the macroeconomic front, Poland's economy showed resilience with a real GDP growth of 3.8% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026. While inflation in July rose to 3.0%, economists suggest price pressures remain manageable. In the retail sector, Lidl Polska reached a milestone by opening its 1,000th store in Katowice, highlighting the continued expansion of its network and its role in supporting Polish suppliers.
