Abstract

In the 2nd quarter of 2020 the Polish economy faced a shock due to administrative restrictions imposed on economic activity in order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the state of the pandemic is still bearing down on the economy, the manufacturing industry has managed to rebound into recovery. The industrial confidence indicator (ICI) and the majority of the survey balances have been on the rise since the end of 2020. Most of them are positive now. The indicator increased by 3.7 pts in April, 3.6 pts in May, and again by 5.4 pts in June to the value of 10.5 pts. Since March, 2021 it gained 12.7 pts in total, and is now 29.8 pts up from the respective year 2020 figure. The upward trend has been sustained for 14 months, and is expected to continue over the next ones.(original abstract)
