Poland well prepared for life without Russian gas

Poland’s government has shown no signs of meeting President Putin’s demand to get gas flows restored, but we think the economy is relatively well placed to deal with a loss of Russian supplies. As things stand, we do not expect any energy rationing and we think Poland will avoid a recession this year. The main impact is likely to come through inflation due to higher energy bills for households and firms.
