Poland's economy grew 5.8 percent in '06

Poland's gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 5.8 percent in 2006, up from 3.5 percent in 2005, according to estimated preliminary figures issued Monday by the government.

The figure released by the Central Statistical Office, or GUS, met with economists' expectations, Dow Jones Newswires said.

The strong economic growth resulted from increased consumer spending and rising exports.
