OMG!

Poland’s public debt isn’t just high — it’s breaking records. By 2026, it’s expected to smash through the 60% GDP limit, maybe even hit 65%. That’s right, for the first time ever, the EU and the constitution will have to side-eye us hard.

By November 2025, the debt already hit 1.91 trillion PLN, jumping 160 billion in just seven months. Who’s cashing out the most? Social spending: child benefits, extra pensions, housing and energy subsidies — basically giving the people what they need… and the budget what it doesn’t. Defense spending’s up too, but it’s still just a fraction of the problem.

Debt servicing? A cool 90 billion PLN a year by 2026. Translation: higher taxes, pricier loans and mortgages, cuts to social programs, and possible hits to healthcare, schools, and infrastructure. Economists are waving red flags, Brussels is already watching, and Poland’s wallet is screaming.

Bottom line: this isn’t just a financial headache — it’s a full-blown budget hangover, and nobody brought the aspirin.
