Economy of Poland
The economy of Poland is an emerging and developing, high-income, industrialized social market economy that is the sixth-largest in the European Union by nominal GDP and fifth-largest by PPP-adjusted GDP. Poland has the extensive public services characteristic of most developed economies and is one of few countries in Europe to require no tuition fees for undergraduate and postgraduate education and with universal public healthcare that is free at a point of use. Since 1988, Poland has pursued a policy of economic liberalisation but retained an advanced public welfare system.
