The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) published the second edition of its report "Poland: Analysis of the impact of refugees from Ukraine on the economy of Poland" in June 2025.

The report updates the agency's earlier assessment of how refugees from Ukraine have affected Poland's economy since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine drove mass displacement into neighbouring countries. Poland hosts one of the largest populations of Ukrainian refugees in Europe and has operated dedicated support schemes since 2022.

What does the report cover?

The second edition revisits the economic questions raised in the first edition, including the fiscal and labour-market effects of large-scale displacement. UNHCR produces the analysis to inform government planning, municipal budgets and international donor decisions.

The report follows a series of UNHCR data-collection exercises in Poland, which the agency has used to track refugee numbers, employment rates and household needs across the country.

Who uses the findings?

Polish ministries, local authorities in major hosting cities and international organisations draw on UNHCR's analysis when they plan services, housing and labour-market support for refugees from Ukraine.

The June 2025 edition serves as the reference point for current planning cycles.

Readers who need the exact figures should consult the report directly on the UNHCR website. This summary carries only the publication facts announced in the source.

The second edition replaces the first edition as UNHCR's current analysis of the refugee impact on the Polish economy.
