Poland sticks with the złoty as growth outpaces the eurozone, eyes G20 instead of euro adoption
Poland’s finance officials say the country should keep the złoty for now, arguing the economy is outperforming eurozone peers and public opinion favors the currency; the shift under Prime Minister Tusk emphasizes economic reasons over politics as euro adoption is deprioritized. The OECD projects Poland to grow 3.4% this year, the fastest in the EU, while Warsaw seeks a G20 seat rather than joining the euro; Poland’s GDP topped $1 trillion and it has been invited to attend the Miami G20 meeting as an observer.
