How Poland Became Europe’s Growth Leader
Poland has become one of Europe’s standout growth stories, with an economy that crossed $1 trillion and a new generation of entrepreneurs returning home after studying and working abroad. Finance Minister Andrzej Domański points to decades of reform, EU integration, foreign investment and a diversified economy as drivers of Poland’s rise, while venture capitalist Aleksandra Pedraszewska says Warsaw’s technology scene now offers opportunities that were far less obvious a decade ago. But economists warn that sustaining the boom will require Poland to address large deficits, elevated defense spending, demographic decline and the need for more investment in research, education and innovation.

Why Britain’s Bond Market Is Sounding the Alarm
