Is Poland a developed country?

In 20 18, the per capita gdp of Poland has reached 15424 USD, which is about 77% of the last developed country.

First of all, we must find out what the conditions are for becoming a developed country. There must be a high enough per capita gdp.

What was the per capita gdp of developed countries last time? In other words, how much gdp per capita does Poland have to reach to become a developed country?

At the end of 20 18, the per capita gdp of developed countries in Greece, Slovakia and Lithuania was $20,324, $65,438+$09,546 and $65,438+$09,089 respectively. Therefore, in the end, the per capita gdp of developed countries is around $20,000, and Poland can only become a developed country if it reaches $20,000 per capita.

Poland's per capita gdp in 20 18 is 15424 USD, which is about 77% of the lower limit of developed countries.

2. From 1990 to 20 18, the development of Poland is very stable.

1990 173 1 USD, 20 15424, and 20 18 years, the per capita of Poland was 8.9 1 times that of 1990. Let's compare India, a rapidly developing and stable emerging country. India's per capita 1990 is $367, and 20 18 is $20 15, which is 5.97 times that of 20 1990. In the past 28 years, the per capita gdp of Poland has increased much faster than that of India.

In 2000, the average per capita in Poland was 4,492 US dollars, in 2065, it was 438+05,424 US dollars, and in 2065, the average per capita in Poland was 3.43 times that in 2000. Let's compare it with the world average. The world average is 549 1 USD in 2000, 2065 1 1298 USD, and 438+08 USD, which is 2.05 times that of 2000. In recent 18 years, the growth rate of per capita gdp in Poland was much faster than the world average, while in recent 18 years, the per capita GDP in Poland was only 8 1.8% of the world average, which became 1.365 times of the world average.

In 20 10 year, the per capita in Poland was 65438 USD+02599; 20 18 years is 15424 USD; In 20 18, the per capita in Poland increased by 22.4% compared with 20 10. The world average level of 20 10 is 9538 dollars, and 20 18 is 1 1298 dollars. In 20 10, the average per capita in Poland was 75.7%, and in 20 18, the average per capita in Poland was 73.2%. In the last eight years, the per capita growth rate of Poland is still higher than the world average, even higher than that of developed countries.

What's more, some people even fell in the last developed country, such as Greece.

Look at the growth rate. Except for 20 12 and 20 13 years, Poland's economic growth rate was slow due to the economic downturn in Europe, all the other years were above 3%, and the growth rate in six years was higher than the world average. The growth rate of 20 18 even reached 5. 1%.

Since Poland's per capita has reached 77% of the last developed country, and the growth rate is relatively fast, it is not a big problem for Poland to reach 20,000 US dollars per capita.

Poland's economic structure is already very similar to that of some developed countries.

The picture below shows the economic structure of Poland in 20 17 years.

Polish machinery accounts for 12.84%, electronics for 8.55%, chemical industry for1.13%, transportation for 1 1.20%, and high-end industries for 43.72%. If low-end industries such as textiles and metals are included, this figure has reached 59.27%, close to 60%!

Let's compare it with Italy. In Italy, machinery accounts for 18.7 1%, electronics for 4.88%, chemicals for 12.80%, automobiles for 8.78%, and high-end industries for 45.7 1%. If textiles and metals are included, the proportion is 62.26%.

Similarly, Spain

We actually found that Poland's economic structure is similar to that of Italy and Spain, two developed countries! However, Poland's high-end manufacturing industry mainly comes from the industrial transfer in Western Europe, and the local manufacturing industry is not strong.

Many people replied that Poland would not become a developed country without local manufacturing, but as long as the country has advanced industries other than agriculture, fisheries, tourism and resources, whether it is local or foreign, it will not prevent the country from entering the ranks of developed countries. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and other developed countries have not heard of any advanced local industries, but it does not prevent them from becoming developed countries!

In addition, Poland has another advantage, that is, it borders Germany.

There is a principle called the "neighboring country principle". A country's largest trading partner and the largest source of tourists are often neighboring countries. If neighboring countries are advanced and rich, they will greatly promote their own development. This is a common phenomenon in the world. Poland can not only receive high-end industrial transfer from Germany, but also attract German tourists.
