In the latest episode of the program "Godzina z Jakiem" Pałasiński talks to Prof. Marek Belka - an outstanding economist, erstwhile Prime Minister, president of the National Bank of Poland, and presently president of the Audit Board of the European Commission's Financial Instrument for Ukraine. The conversation touches on key issues of contemporary geopolitics and economy: the effects of the tariff war waged by the Donald Trump administration, the position of the dollar as a reserve currency, the function of China in the global trade strategy and the importance of the European Union in this puzzle. Prof. Belka analyzes the economical mechanisms behind politicians' decisions, indicates their possible consequences and comments with irony and experience on any controversial statements and actions.
