Poland became in 2022 the second biggest exporter to Ukraine after China, a government-affiliated economic think-tank reported.
“With a 10% share, Poland became the second biggest supplier to Ukraine after China in 2022,” the Polish Economic Institute (PIE) said.
“Poland advanced from the fourth place and overtook Germany and Russia,” PIE wrote, adding that, according to the Central Statistical Office (GUS), Poland’s exports to Ukraine exceeded $10 billion in 2022, up by 37% YoY.
“In January-May, Poland’s exports to Ukraine totalled $4.6 billion, up by 67% from the corresponding period of 2021, and by 52% YoY,” PIE reported.
According to PIE, Poland’s exports to Ukraine are mostly directed “to service” its war-related needs, with fuels and mineral oils accounting for 21% of the total, road vehicles and spare parts (10%) and weapons and ammunition (8%), among other products. (PAP/Business World Magazine)
