Poland's surging military spending raises growth questions

Original: Poland is racing ahead with military spending – but will it help or damage its economic growth story?

Poland is rapidly expanding its defence budget, becoming one of NATO's biggest military spenders in proportion to its economy. Commentators are weighing whether the huge outlays on weapons, personnel and infrastructure will stimulate industry and jobs, or strain public finances and risk undermining the growth record that has made Poland one of Europe's standout economies in recent decades.

Why now: Defence spending in Europe is a live topic amid the war in Ukraine and debates over NATO burden-sharing and its economic costs.
