TRENDS RADAR 2025 – Real Estate: From Stabilisation To Optimism

Macroeconomic prospects: In 2024, Poland’s economy has returned to growth from a period of stagnation in 2023, with GDP growth expected to reach 3.1%. The average annual inflation rate is forecast to be around 4.0% in 2024 and remain below 5% in 2025. This is likely to prompt interest rate cuts that are anticipated to take place in the second half of 2025, providing a boost to the economy.
