Poland plans to raise PLN7.9B from dividends in 2026: budget
Poland's government has outlined its 2026 budget, revealing plans to raise PLN7.9 billion from dividends. This financial move comes amidst a backdrop of increased defense spending and a budget deficit that has tripled over the past three years due to the war in Ukraine [2].As of the end of August 2025, Poland had financed around 89% of its 2025 gross borrowing needs, amounting to approximately PLN180 billion [1]. This indicates a robust financial position, with the country's budget accounts holding substantial funds to meet its financial obligations.
The 2026 budget prioritizes higher spending on defense, reflecting the country's strategic response to geopolitical tensions. The cabinet has revised the 2025 public-sector shortfall to 6.9% of economic output and set a gap of 6.5% for 2026 [2]. This fiscal discipline, albeit not as stringent as initially planned, is a reflection of Poland's balancing act between national security and economic stability.
Additionally, ArcelorMittal Poland has reached an agreement with trade unions to support employees during the temporary shutdown of blast furnace No. 3. This initiative aims to minimize social risks and retain qualified personnel by offering new jobs, specialized training, and the use of accumulated vacation time [3].
In summary, Poland's 2026 budget reflects a strategic approach to financial management, balancing defense spending with fiscal discipline. The planned dividend raise of PLN7.9 billion underscores the country's commitment to financial stability amidst ongoing geopolitical challenges.
