  Nawrocki's program has been described as economically interventionist, or economically left-wing. Nawrocki describes himself as a strong supporter of armaments and social investment programmes. In a speech in which he accepted Law and Justice's endorsement for his candidacy, Nawrocki pledged to abolish all overtime labor tax and to focus on large economic investments; he strongly supports the Central Communication Port project, and praised the Central Industrial Region and Stocznia Gdynia schemes developed in the interwar Second Polish Republic. Nawrocki expressed his fascination with other large investments such as the Vistula Spit canal and Świnoujście LNG terminal, and wants to pursue similar undertakings.
  
  Nawrocki calls for "a welfare state with zero VAT on food". He supports welfare programmes and opposes adopting the Euro as Poland's currency. He stresses the lack of transport in Poland and has pledged to develop rail infrastructure in underdeveloped regions of the country. Nawrocki proposes to enact an additional tax on the owners of three and more apartments, with an exemption for families with children. His other proposals include abolishing tax on savings and increasing the annual indexation of pensions. He also expressed welfare chauvinist views - believing that Poles are "treated worse in their own country than immigrants", Nawrocki argues that social benefits in Poland should be for Poles only, and pensions for Ukrainian immigrants should be eliminated; additionally, Polish citizens should have a priority in healthcare, school and kindergarten queues.
  
  He objected to the Tusk government 's cut in healthcare contributions for businesses and stated that he would oppose any attempt to reduce healthcare funding. Nawrocki also signed a list of 11 pledges, including promises to not raise the retirement age, to uphold worker protections, to defend minimum wages, to retain the ban on Sunday business activity, to promote economic patriotism, and to increase funding for the public health service and agriculture. Based on these pledges, he was endorsed by Poland's Solidarity trade union. Nawrocki supports additional taxes on "digital giants operating online and targeting Polish users" and the expansion of social housing.
  
  He argues that Poland needs to achieve "full energy sovereignty". He supports nuclear energy, describing it as "the most secure and stable one". He also criticised the European Green Deal, stating that while he supports environmental protection, he opposes "climate madness at the expense of Polish homes, workers and entrepreneurs". Nawrocki also believes that Poland needs to ensure its food security and respect "the sovereignty of the Polish countryside"; he has described rural Poland as "the mainstay of Polish culture, traditions and social values". He wishes to implement new policies that will combat "unfair competition" in the Polish economy.
  
  Nawrocki advocated for reducing the value-added tax rate from 23% to 22% during his presidential campaign, as well as an exemption from personal income tax for families with two or more children. He also pledged to veto blanket tax increases. He argued that cryptocurrency offers a prospect for innovation, and expressed his opposition to further regulations on investment.
