Current rate
1 USD = 4.05 PLN as of 2026-05-17. USD/PLN sees strong search volume from the 1M+ Polish diaspora in the US (Chicago has the largest Polish population outside Warsaw), US tech companies paying Polish remote workers (Poland is the leading nearshoring destination in CEE), and Polish-American import/export flows. The zloty has strengthened since the 2023 Tusk government took office, reversing some PiS-era political risk discount, and benefits from Poland's strong GDP growth and EU funds inflows.
