Poland continues to be one of the safest countries in Europe. With a population of about 38 million and a GDP per capita of US$13,800 (2017), Poland has the largest economy in Central Europe. Poland is classified as a high-income economy by the World Bank and ranks 22nd worldwide in terms of GDP, as well as 40th in the 2020 Ease of Doing Business Index.
The balance of trade between Sri Lanka and Poland is in favour of Sri Lanka, and main items exported during 2020 include tea, spices, apparel, rubber products, fish, and coconut products. Based on the interests of local companies, Virtual B2B Meetings will be organised in due course, the Chamber Spokesman said.
