WOOD Flash – Poland macro: a closer look at retail spending, appetite and pricing
Poland has seen the earliest recovery in consumer spending in the European Union, as real retail sales growth flipped to positive territory in October 2023, after contracting since February 2023. The expectation for this year is that retail spending volume growth will accelerate gradually and, according to our model projection, the peak will be reached this summer, with an expansion of 10% yoy, up from 6% yoy currently. The two key ingredients of the recovery are an improvement in consumer confidence and better purchasing power reflected in positive real wage growth.
