Poland: An EU Success Story Hits Troubled Times
Poland, the only member of the European Union that managed to maintain uninterrupted economic growth during the ongoing European crisis, has recently entered a phase of political fragility. As the Polish economy has begun to feel the impact of the EU crisis, the popularity of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his party, Civic Platform, has declined. These changes mean Poland is becoming more like its Central European neighbors.
Analysis
Poland has been one of Europe's most glittering success stories, both before and during the European crisis. Between 2003 and 2007, the Polish economy grew an average of 5.2 percent annually. Even as the crisis hit Western Europe, Poland managed to grow by 4.5 percent in 2011 and 1.9 percent in 2012. However, the country's economy has recently decelerated. Poland's gross domestic product grew by a meager 0.4 percent in the first quarter of 2013, and the country is expected to grow around 1 percent this year, well below its previous performance.
A combination of factors explains this shift. Warsaw's recent spending cuts and tax hikes have weakened local consumer confidence and companies are finding it increasingly difficult to secure financing. Additionally, the Polish government has already spent most of the EU funds allocated for 2007-2013; fresh money will not arrive until 2014. Between 2008 and 2012, Poland also benefitted from extra investment related to the Euro 2012 soccer championship -- according to Capital Economics, Poland received some 25 billion euros (roughly $32.7 billion) of investment related to the championship, which also created several thousand extra jobs.
