PM Tusk announced that 2025 would be a landmark year for Poland, both due to the 1,000th anniversary of the first coronation of Bolesław Chrobry (Poland’s first king) and the country’s ongoing economic growth and fight against corruption.

According to Tusk, a record-breaking investment of over 650 billion PLN (€155.45 billion or $160.59 billion) - the highest in Poland’s economic history - will be allocated this year, with GDP growth expected to reach 4%.

The Polish government will also prioritize energy investments, including the construction of the country’s first nuclear power plant and the expansion of offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea.

Additionally, Poland plans historic infrastructure investments, such as 180 billion PLN (€43.05 billion or $44.47 billion) for railway development and a threefold increase in cargo handling at Polish ports by 2030.

Donald Tusk also revealed advanced talks with tech giants Google and Microsoft, which are preparing for major investments in Poland.
