Poland's record military spending puts economic growth at question
Original: Poland is racing ahead with military spending – but will it help or damage its economic growth story?
Poland is sharply increasing its defence budget, becoming one of NATO's biggest military spenders relative to GDP. The surge is driven by the war in neighbouring Ukraine and security concerns along NATO's eastern flank. Debate is growing over whether the massive outlays will stimulate industry and jobs or strain public finances and slow the country's long-running economic growth story.
Why now: Poland's defence spending surge is unusually large relative to its economy, raising timely questions about trade-offs with growth amid the Ukraine war.
