Charting Poland’s Future:
Spotlight on Growth & Innovation

As the first Central and Eastern European country to be upgraded by a leading index provider, from Emerging Market to Developed Market, Poland is serving as a model for other nations to follow.  Behind an aggressive crackdown on tax fraud, growing private sector investment, a decline in public debt and a combination of record low unemployment and high consumer confidence, Polish GDP has seen significant growth over the past year.

 

Poland’s strong and effectively managed economy has made it a target for investors. So, what are the keys to sustaining growth for Poland? What are the implications for investors in the ascension in market status? How can the Polish government continue to build successful public-private partnerships? What macro-economic forces are working for and against continued growth? And, what do small and medium sized Polish companies need to scale globally?

 

Drawing on a deep well of data analysis and a commitment to up-to-the-minute, market-moving news, Bloomberg will convene top experts, analysts, investors and news makers to explore these questions and more as we look at the future of the Polish markets.
