Poland's economy is diversified, with key sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, mining, services and technology. Major industries include automotive production, machinery, chemicals, food processing and coal mining. The currency is the złoty. Poland joined the EU in 2004 and has since attracted significant foreign direct investment, particularly in manufacturing and business services. The country is a major exporter of machinery, transport equipment, furniture and food products. Poland has undergone substantial economic transformation since the end of communist rule in 1989, transitioning to a market economy and achieving sustained growth over recent decades.
