Sweden is also 10M people country, Poland like 38M, so per capita is more accurate. Take into account that Poland was starting from low point, in 1989/91 Belarus had higher GDP per capita than Poland
Yes, Poland has made extremely good progress over the past decades. Still a lot more progress is needed, but the country is generally on the right track
I wish most of the money stayed in Poland and corporations would pay actual taxes in PL
Indeed, however per capita, Poland’s still at least another generation behind. Fingers crossed though
Oh cool, that means we have better healthcare, right? Right???
I’m hoping to bring my engineering degrees to come help out, too. I’ve got some internship opportunities opening up between my university and Wroclaw. I’ve hired a polish tutor and have already started in my own. Btw, Polski is difficult 🤣
Proud of you guys <3
You should calculate gdp per capita, maybe in ppp. Sweden has like 10m, poland 38m. Still good for Poland. But Sweeds are still so much richer.
Holy shit that’s a big increase, well done Poland 👏
Poland is doing great. But is also still behind GDP per capita than most of “old Europe” countries.
Remember, when Nordic people were driving Volvo and hunt moose and stay on weekends in their forrest cabin, and US kids were watching Grease or Rock and roll highschool and later play Nintendo and drag-race their muscle cars…
My parents and I were waiting for a one-room place to live in communist flat for 10 years. And we were waiting in line for 4 hours just to buy 1 kg of sugar. F…. 1980s!!! At that time, owning a car (ANY car) was a luxury not accessible to ordinary people at all.
Like in this Monty Python’s: We Were So Poor, but fucking for real.
So, from my perspective Poland is doing great. And I wish Sweden stay high in this ranking as long as there’s more people working than demanding money for free.
Screw you all “yes, it’s ok BUT…”.
What its shown on meme is brilliant unquestionably!
Bogactwo kurwa co prawda zarabiam 7000 zł ale za to nie stać mnie na dom ani mieszkanie a nawet na zdrowe jedzenie. Polska górą .
Wealth, damn it! Although I earn 1700 euro, I can’t afford a house or an apartment, and not even healthy food. Poland is great
I hope this post won’t get deleted. Bot police and Reddit rules fk up everything here.
Fuck yes Poland! We grow together in Europe! Your country is stunning, your towns are clean and beautiful, and Polish people are very friendly and funny!
randomly decided to hyperfocus on this meme so here ya go
population sources are first (non-AI) google search result (can’t be fucked to find a proper population site)
Then again, getting out of the communist shithole may have had something to do with it
Chałwa Wielkiej Polsce

Thanks EU.
I’m happy for Poland and all but Poland has a massively larger population than Sweden.
🥳🇵🇱
**Sweden per capita: $55,439**
**Poland per capita: $20,876**
Despite that, poles will keep finding reasons to whine and complain about everything
Per capita Sweden has over twice as much GPD. Which means one Swede has twice as much resources as one Pole.
Let’s compare the population size (Sweden 10.5 million) also. We can buy some Grippens and Archers for our army (we do not have such thing ourselves) also. Ah yes, something for the body and soul will come in handy. So let’s get something from the brands: IKEA, H&M, Acne Studios, Daniel Wellington, Fjällräven, Hasselblad.
Now let’s compare ourselves to something similar in terms of people.
If Spain will stand still in place, then we need “only” ten years of 7% GDP increase per year, to be on pair. However, let’s assume something more probably. We need “only” twenty years of 3.5% GDP increase per year, to be on pair.
We have to chase them quickly, because they are leaving on a high-speed train, and we don’t have such in Poland. I wonder what other things they have that we don’t have…
Russia should be careful what they wish for. In a multi-polar world, Europe has the most poles.
You can’t forget that for that last two decades Poland was one of the biggest ue donation beneficiary.
POLSKA GUROM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a swede who used to regularly travled to Poland during 2000-2020 i have to say, this is so true.
I usually went to Poland during the summers each year, and each year i was surprised how much had changed in that short time.
Especially compared to Sweden which pretty much stalled during the same period.
