Poland experienced a notable shift in its trade dynamics, recording a trade surplus of EUR 553 million in October 2025, a significant turnaround from a deficit of EUR 333 million in the same month the previous year. This marked the largest trade surplus since April 2024, driven by the fact that exports exceeded imports. Export values rose impressively by 4.2%, reaching a record high of EUR 32.4 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by increased demand for other consumer goods such as clothing, footwear, and video game consoles, alongside rising sales in buses and agricultural products. However, exports of passenger cars, auto parts, and supply goods experienced further declines. On the import side, there was a more modest increase of 2.4%, totaling EUR 31.8 billion. This was largely due to the heightened importation of investment goods, particularly computers, and passenger cars, even though imports of consumer goods and agricultural products decreased compared to October 2024.
