Poland's GDP per capita went from less than 20% that of the UK in 2005 to 38-48% currently depending on source.

It only makes sense to compare GDP between countries on PPP basis. Otherwise you don't account for currency rate fluctuations and difference in averge price level.

IMF figures for 2025:

87% GDP per capita PPP, 50% nominal GDP per capita
