# Poland → Germany economic convergence

Indicator: GDP per capita (PPP) (constant 2021 international $)
Latest shared data: 2025
Poland: $46,925

Poland is at 75% of Germany.

## Scenario

Poland annual growth: 4.0% (trailing 10-year average)
Germany annual growth: 0.5% (trailing 10-year average)

## Result
