S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI), a global provider of stock market indices and market indicators, announced that Poland will move from the emerging‑market group to the developed‑market group.

The change will take effect with an index update scheduled for September 2027.

Kolejne potwierdzenie rosnącej pozycji Polski! S&P DJI właśnie zmienił klasyfikację Polski 🇵🇱 z rynku rozwijającego się na rynek rozwinięty. Polska to dziś najszybciej rosnąca duża gospodarka UE. Już za tydzień będziemy uczestniczyć w spotkaniu G20 w USA. Działamy dalej!

"Further confirmation of Poland’s growing position! S&P DJI has just changed Poland’s classification from an emerging market to a developed market," Domański wrote on the X platform.

"Poland is now the fastest‑growing large economy in the EU,” he said. "In just one week we will be participating in the G20 meeting in the US. We are moving forward."

In June, S&P DJI reported that it had launched consultations on Poland’s possible reclassification.

According to the company, Poland’s quantitative and qualitative indicators meet or exceed standards required for developed‑market status.
