Way to Modernity

It’s been only for the last ten years that Poland has been developing according to the rules of market economy. Shortcomings and neglect of previous decades are difficult to repair – it’s not easy to rapidly make up for the lost time. However, the positive results of recent reforms are visible: the ground for the development of modern economy and restructuring of the whole branches was prepared.

Accelerated modernisation is present in all fields of Polish life. Another approach would not get us any closer to the desired integration with the European Union. Differences in life standards and macroeconomic development have to be gradually removed. And they are being removed. It’s noticeable in every Polish city - they are becoming more colourful, have better infrastructure, more construction sites and offer higher quality of services. It’s also visible on Polish roads – there are more and newer vehicles. Changes are perceptible everywhere. Not without reason, since the beginning of economic transformations, Poland has been recognised as the leader of changes.

The high tempo of economic changes in Poland is due to the fact that our country has recently become a very attractive market for foreign investors. The value of foreign capital invested in Poland exceeds USD 40 billion, and the list of major investors include some 750 big companies, representing different branches of business.

The greatest investments were made in the fields of banking , transportation, food processing, trade, telecommunications, car manufacturing, and insurance system. Poland’s way to modernity is still difficult, but it is much shorter today than it was five or ten years ago.
