High Trade with Germany

Poland has once again become Berlin's main business partner in Eastern Europe, while trade between Germany and Russia has decreased considerably.

In the last three years Russia's growth rate has dipped steadily along with the value of the ruble and this is increasingly having an impact on trade between the two countries.

Last year Poland eclipsed the 76.5 billion euros trade with Russia by nearly two billion marking a 4% increase year to year.

Economic experts do not foresee a trend reversal as the Russian economy continues to have long term problems.
