Poland's economy topped $1 trillion last year, punctuating a
decades-long boom that is in stark contrast to the faltering
economies of its much bigger European neighbors.

The milestone, confirmed by data released Friday by the country's
statistics agency, likely lifted Poland into the world's top 20
economies for 2025. It is expected to supplant Switzerland, which
hasn't yet released its end-of-year tally. Poland now sits right
behind No. 19 Saudi Arabia's $1.3 trillion economy.
