In November 2025, Poland experienced a trade deficit increase, reaching EUR 1.087 billion compared to EUR 930 million in the same period of the previous year. This change was attributed to imports surpassing exports. Export activities saw a modest rise of 2.7%, totaling EUR 29.9 billion, yet there was a notable deceleration in the growth of consumer goods, non-durable goods, agricultural products, capital goods, and transport equipment sectors. Additionally, the shipment of supplies saw a downturn when compared to November 2024. On the other hand, imports grew by 3.1%, amassing EUR 30.9 billion, but growth was confined to just two out of the eight major categories. Notably, there were significant decreases in supplies and durable consumer goods. This decline in supplies was primarily due to reduced imports of chemicals, semi-finished plastics, and a downward trend in fuel prices, specifically crude oil. The reduction in durable consumer goods imports is likely reflective of decreased prices for products sourced from China.
