EME Macro/Strategy: Poland – macro update

The March sentiment data show a drop in confidence across sectors, a similar magnitude across the economy. Poland is the biggest recipient of Ukrainian migrants, and this is having two opposing effects: it adds demand, but also inflationary pressure via housing, demand for basic items and additional fiscal spending. In the long run, this migration flux will have a positive impact for the economy, by adding labour force and new companies; however, in the near term, not all labour constraints will be addressed. The current migrant wave is concentrated in women and children, while there is an outflow of men going to Ukraine to assist the conflict. Shortages of labour in construction and transport are unlikely to be alleviated in the near term.
