PM in Brussels: Our Economy Overtakes the UK, and the Republic is Now Germany's Sixth Largest Trading Partner

- During a break from difficult negotiations in Brussels, I have wonderful news for you! Poland is becoming a driving force for the entire European economy! Even our largest economic partner – Germany – admits this. German trade with Poland and the other Visegrád Group countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia – has increased over the past year to over 300 billion euros! Poland's share alone is estimated at over 123.4 billion euros – an increase of 4.2% year-on-year. Thanks to this, our economy has overtaken Great Britain, and the Republic is now the sixth largest trading partner of the Federal Republic of Germany. All of this was achieved primarily thanks to the incredible diligence and creativity of Poles! I am proud of our achievements – they motivate me to work even harder at today's summit and in the coming months – wrote Mateusz Morawiecki in his Facebook post.
