The National Bank of Poland showed how many Ukrainians plan to remain in the country.


The National Bank of Poland conducted a study to learn about the plans of Ukrainian migrants who arrived in Poland after the start of Russian aggression.
According to the study's results, many Ukrainians see Poland as a permanent place of residence. In particular, 21% of those who arrived after February 2022 and 48% of those who arrived before the war plan to stay in the country permanently.
Moreover, 19% of refugees and 10% of pre-war migrants plan to stay in Poland for a long Time with the possibility of returning to Ukraine. Only 2% of the respondents are considering moving to other countries.
Experts from the National Bank note that many people have not yet decided their future. In particular, 56% of refugees and 39% of pre-war migrants do not have a clear plan.
The main factors influencing the decision to reside are the end of the war in Ukraine for 59% of refugees and 34% of pre-war migrants. Additionally, longing for family and employment issues are important motivators.
The main reasons for long-term residence in Poland are self-provision, having satisfactory jobs, and adequate living conditions.
There are also reports of increased control and increased fines in Poland.
