Summary:

The services sector has played an important role in the structural transformation of Poland, providing employment opportunities, and creating productivity growth. Close to 60 percent of employees now work in the services sector. Nevertheless, the sector's productivity lags that of other countries, and Poland's service sector is dominated more by low-skilled, intensive services and less by 'global innovator' services (e.g., ICT and financial and other professional services). The services sector in Poland is dominated by smaller, less productive firms, highlighting a potential area for improvement. Linkages between the services sector and the manufacturing sector appear weaker in Poland than in other EU countries. A high share of services (42 percent) is produced for domestic households rather than for other firms. Targeting the growth of enabling service sectors to allow spillovers into other sectors offers another area for improvement.
