WARSAW HIGHLIGHTS

Warsaw's economic dominance stems from its highly educated labour force, which boosts business services in the city, and a large domestic market size which amplifies trade opportunities. In 2016, Warsaw enjoyed a 68% labour productivity advantage (gross value added by employee) over the remaining parts of the country. In general, Warsaw's highly skilled and abundant labour force underlies a high labour participation rate in the capital (84% in 2016) as opposed to remaining parts of Poland (63%).

Strong FDI boosts household disposable income
