Poland: Trade Deficit Widens in April.

Poland’s trade deficit expanded sharply to €2.0 billion in April 2026, up from €1.5 billion a year earlier, as imports outpaced exports. Imports surged 7.8% to €32.6 billion, driven by higher fuel purchases amid elevated energy prices linked to the Middle East conflict. Significant increases were also seen in the value of computers, immunological products, and vaccines, while passenger car imports continued their long-standing growth trend. However, the supply of automotive parts declined further. Exports grew at a slower pace of 6.6% to €30.6 billion, supported by strong demand for copper and raw silver, as well as rising foreign sales of computers. However, declines in the automotive and durable consumer goods sectors weighed on overall export growth.
