However, the factors, which stood behind the GDP growth in the recent months, must be still supported. – Poland is one of the biggest economies in the European Union. It is still a target for many direct investments, the financial system works well, and, in the background of other countries, the workforce is well qualified. It has worked in the time of crisis - enumerates Thomas Laursen, a director in the World Bank for Poland and Baltic states. Yet, experts share the same view that it is difficult to contribute a large part of the Polish success to effective authorities. – One of the strong points of the Polish economy is its size and a smaller reliance on foreign markets – according to Mark Allen, a regional representative of the International Monetary Fund.

That is why, reforms are indispensable for the economy to develop further. According to experts, the most important thing is to repair public finances, reform the pension system and health care. Thanks to them, the Polish economy should develop further. – We have started to see a strategic vision for the development of Poland – says Francois Colombie, the President of the Supervisory Board of Auchan Poland. Perception of Poland changes very rapidly, improving certainly – he adds.
– In 10-15 years the GDP per capita in Poland is likely to come close to the Spanish level –according to Thomas Laursen. Still, the crisis, which has moved currently to the real economic domain, being reflected, a/o, in increased unemployment, has not said the last word yet. The experts are concerned with the deteriorated fiscal situation of the country. Yet, Poland should proceed towards specific targets, such as, for example, adoption of the common currency.
In a short-time perspective, it was beneficial for Poland not to adopt Euro. Yet, your country cannot follow the path of the United Kingdom and delay the decision on adoption of the EU currency, because it can prove to be disastrous – emphasized Manfred Schepers, the Vice-president of the EBR D.
