Despite the fact that Poland has the 8th largest economy in the European Union, its GDP per capita is much lower than the EU average. The country's industrial backbone is comprised of the coal, textile, chemical, machinery, iron, and steel industries, and has lately grown to include fertilizers, petrochemicals, machine tools, electrical machinery, electronics, automobiles, and shipbuilding industries as well. When it comes to expenditures, household consumption is the most important component of GDP (accounting for 60% of total use), followed by gross fixed capital formation (20%), and government expenditure (18%). Currently, exports of goods and services account for 47% of GDP, while imports account for 46%, contributing 1% to total GDP.

A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the PLN while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the PLN.
