Could Poland Become The Next Germany? 🇵🇱

Poland defies European economic trends by having one of the fastest-growing economies on the continent. While many European nations face stagnation, Poland shines, even outperforming its former Soviet counterparts, including resource-rich Russia. Despite historical challenges and its unique geopolitical situation, Poland's success offers insights for struggling economies worldwide, although it faces hurdles ahead.

I’m in Poland right now on holiday in Gdańsk, I have never seen a city this size so clean and safe coming from the U.K., people are healthy looking and well dressed, the poles are definitely doing something right.

Poand has never been "soviet republic" because it has never been a part of a country called USSR unlike Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus or Georgia. Poland was soviet satelite state just like East Germany or Chechoslovakia. Forced to live under Moscow's commands but still a separate country with its own land, borders, flags, anthem, political leaders.

[hokusai]

We’ve tried to make Poland Germany a few different times and it never ends that well 🤷‍♂️

[johnh]

Poland is an amazing country! Just discovered this in my first visit this year. I love Poland and it's people! 🇵🇱

[lpoffline]

One mistake: Poland is not a former soviet state, it was in the eastern block, but not the part of the soviet union like the Baltics, Ukraine etc.

My best friend in primary school was Polish- hence why for Poland there is a special place in my heart. I wish Poland the best of luck for the future and hope they'll be able to prosper. Love from Pakistan ❤

[maybehuman]

If any country deserves a break, it's Poland. Good on them for doing so well.

[ferentcristian]

I am rooting for Poland to succeed, love polish people. Greetings from Romania !

[everlyisla]

I've been reading about the growing economy of Poland, and it's fascinating how they've been flourishing in recent years.

[armsofundertow]

Poland is quickly becoming very attractive for tech. If they keep this up, you could see Poland outshine traditional powerhouses in 30 years (or sooner).

[LetsJamFunk]

2:08 Poland has been invaded so many times, you know something's changed when someone is confident saying that the chances of Poland being invaded are "extremely slim"

[OpEditorial]

Poland is home to Andrzej Sapkowski and CD Projekt Red, the legendary creative team responsible for the video game *The Witcher*, and the book series that inspired it.

[jesusch]

The only thing I missed in terms of econmy is Poland's rising power in the IT industry and more broadly, services.

[AslanAlmukhambetov]

If 20 years ago someone told me that Poland will be a higher ranked economy thatn UK, Finland or Canada, Id call the police.

[polishenglishnorwegiandutch]

Poland has no interest in becoming the second Germany because there is only one Poland. We want our citizens to live in peace and prosperity in safe Europe. Also, Poland is not a miracle but a result of sacrifice and hard work of its citizens. Poland has 40 millions of people today.

[Xyt]

The fact Poland never adopted Euro as official currency and still keeps Zloty is a 10000IQ move. While it comes with some drawbacks, not having a currency that's value is tied to like 40 other countries is an extreme economical advantage.

[Matt-eqft]

I will never understand why Economics Explained keeps using the same map that includes Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan as part of China 8:47

[omarmyia]

Poland is a good example for all of Eastern Europe. Hope they continue on the same path. Please do a video on Romania as well.

[justuseodysee]

I think the biggest improvement after joining EU was infrastructure investemnt. Back in the 90s both railways and regular roads were in dire state, unable to acommodate the increasing economic activity. No highways, almost no express roads, local roads with holes bigger than the budget hole left by minister Bauc.

EU invested massive amount of money over the first decade of membership into these areas which made Poland being attractive for any serious business.

I'm polish, no we can't become the next germany, thank you for your time
