Poland's overall economic performance has been impressive over the last decade, allowing living standards to converge steadily towards the EU average. Yet, the economy slowed abruptly in 2012-13.

While substantial progress has been made in these areas since the nineties, important weaknesses are still restraining the country's economic potential.
