The report, titled Four Decades of Success: Poland's Path to Prosperity, was recently unveiled by the Polish Economic Institute (PIE), a Warsaw-based think tank.
It says Poland's unemployment rate remains among the lowest in the European Union and that the share of the population with higher education has more than tripled over the past 35 years.
Key drivers of Poland's economic growth have included foreign investment, economic integration with the European Union and the opening of the EU single market to Polish businesses, according to the report.
One of Poland's major successes has been the rapid growth of employment in higher-paying service sectors, including professional, scientific and technical activities, as well as information technology.
Poland is set to enter 2027 from a position of strength, Finance Minister Andrzej Domański said.
Speaking after a recent Cabinet meeting, Domański said the Polish economy had further growth potential.
"Next year, Poland will remain among the fastest-growing economies in the European Union; we forecast GDP growth of 3 percent," he said, adding that the country's economic growth was "becoming increasingly balanced."
Domański said GDP growth was expected to be driven not only by consumption and rising wages but also by accelerating investment.
The PIE report says, however, that low fertility remains a fundamental challenge for the Polish economy.
According to Statistics Poland, the country's state-run statistical office, Poland's fertility rate last year stood at 1.068, about half the level needed to ensure generational replacement.
The report's authors add that even if the negative fertility trend were reversed, a significant decline in Poland's population over the coming decades would be unavoidable.
