Two decades have passed since the great enlargement of the European Union (EU) on May 1, 2004, comprising the accession of 10 countries, eight of them Central European states.

The result is spectacular. Since 2004, Poland's GDP per capita has risen from 49% to 82% of the EU average. Its GDP, in absolute terms, has grown by 170%, the minimum wage has been multiplied by five, to reach the equivalent of €950, and the average wage multiplied by three, to €1,450. Deducting its contribution to the European budget, the country has received a net value of €170 billion under the cohesion policy and the common agricultural policy. Poland also attracted nearly 45% of the €590 billion in foreign investment directed towards the eight countries in the region.
