Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the impact of investment policy on regional convergence in Poland between 1960 and 1973. On the basis of official statistics on the regional net, gross material product, and occupational structure (material/non-material sector), the author reconstructs the level of GDP for individual Polish regions. The analysis revealed a lack of regional convergence of both sigma and beta types. As a result, the study confirmed that the spatial allocation of investment in Poland during the rule of the Gomułka and Gierek governments was not conducive to the convergence policy, and – due to other characteristics of the centrally planned economy – the spontaneously emerging polarised development model also proved ineffective.
