About - Lublin
Lublin, with about 335,000 residents and the capital of Lublin Voivodeship, is the academic and cultural metropolis of eastern Poland (KUL, UMCS, Lublin University of Technology) and the gateway to Ukraine. Strengths: a rich cultural offer (10 museums, 8 cinemas, 15 cultural centres — all at the 91st percentile), 197 km of bike paths (91st percentile) and a high birth rate of 7.51/1,000 (91st percentile) — one of the best among large cities. 17 km of bus lanes, 5 Park & Ride lots and gross wages of PLN 8,507 (99% of the national average) reflect modern urbanism. High investment outlays of PLN 2.03 billion, business density of 1,681 REGON entities and 61,239 library readers round out the picture. Weaknesses: relatively high housing prices of PLN 9,603/m² (12th percentile) and an affordability ratio of 1.13 (11th percentile) limit homeownership access. A high deregistration count (2,264, 14th percentile) and a tiny lake area (2 ha) are minor issues. Lublin is a strong university and cultural centre with growth prospects in trade and logistics with Ukraine, offering good quality of life at a price similar to Kraków's.

PGE skips the 2025 dividend – entire profit funnelled into the energy transition and Baltic II
On 14 April 2025 the management board of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna recommended that the entire 2025 profit be allocated to reserve capital – the second consecutive year without a dividend. The reason is record capex on the energy transition: the Baltic II offshore wind farm (commissioning in 2026), the carve-out of coal assets to NABE, and an accelerated renewables programme. The consolidated 2025 statements show PLN 61.4bn of revenue and a PLN 3.5bn net loss.
