      Not yet. IMF have reevaluated their GDP estimates and according to the newest data Poland has not passed Switzerland yet, although it’s very close. $1,146,911 vs $1,134,248

      Do you feel rich though ? As with rising costs of living there is not much difference imho.

      20th Economy in the world … all thanks to not letting the right wing imbeciles convince Poles years ago, during the EU referendum, to vote against joining the EU. Same imbeciles today, call for leaving the EU.

      Most poles work for foreign companies, and those companies transfer 99% profit abroad, can’t stop laughing…

      As a normal citizen, I would love to benefit from this so called great economy.

      It’s more due to size than actually being impressively wealthy. That’s why India is part of the club.

      Poland hits a sweetspot where it’s quite chonky for an European country, while having decent development.
      Austria for example is significantly richer per person than Poland, but it’s GDP is only half of Poland’s, because their population is significantly lower.

      If Poland if wealthy than that means the rest of the World must be doing badly.

      Since GDP in Europe should include black market value – I don’t believe in any ratings based on GDP

      This doesn’t translate into how wealthy Poles are. We are the West’s economic colony.

      Classic polish complaining in the comments xD pure entertainment. Completely unfounded.

      I live here in Poland, don’t try and act like most of you aren’t living in a nice safe area with walkable clean streets, own or rent nice apartments, have good jobs and take multiple vacations a year.

      There isn’t one polish adult I know who doesn’t indulge in going out to eat often, or going out to parties, or entertaining friends at home… full spread of food and drinks, you name it. Not to mention the amount of countries everyone here has visited… If you can afford to travel across Europe and pay for these vacations in Euros then you’re doing WELL.

      Not to mention the amount of new cars here and electronics, nice new builds etc.

      Polish people will tell you they don’t live well and they don’t consider Poland to be a rich country, then anyone from the west comes here and can see they are simply complaining.

      I don’t know a single person who is truly living in the level of poverty I’ve seen out in Canada. I’ve virtually never seen more than a small handful of homeless people here…

      And the most important part- YALL GET THIS LEVEL OF LIFE WITH 20+ DAYS VACATION and paid sick leave, plus dozens of religious holidays.

      It is amazing here, don’t let the Polish complainers convince you otherwise.

      These are only excel numbers. They never show real situation of ordinary people

      Yeah we are so wealthy that I’d shit myself if I’d have enough food to do that (it’s an intentional exaggeration fck off)

      well, it’s time to be net contributor :> we have some new members to be taken care of. I hope we can embrace and understand how mutual help works :>

      By keeping out the bad element the national average has to be higher.

      The bad element is people not born there no matter what their ethnicity.

      It’s definitely a good thing, but I don’t think it’s a reason to be overly excited about just yet. GDP doesn’t necessarily convert to quality of life of the citizens. It might, with smart politics, but it could be also consumed by the small group of the wealthiest, like in the US – number one GDP worldwide, yet regular people don’t even get the absolute minimum of what a state should provide, like universal healthcare, policing, civil infrastructure.
