In 2021, 886 companies with Belarusian capital were registered in Poland against a little over 450 in 2020.

According to the Polish Center for Economic Information, on January 10, 2023, 4,980 enterprises of Belarusian companies and citizens of Belarus were operating in the country. The increase in 2022 was 35%. Currently, Belarus is preceded only by Ukraine (25,289) and Germany (9,570).
