Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of the EFNI Spring conference 2025 "The future of work, the work of the future" in Warsaw stated that the era of naive globalisation is ending, and the time is coming for reconstruction of the national economy, repolonization of the economy, marketplace and capital.
The Prime Minister announced a fresh economical policy based on the reconstruction and repolonisation of the national economy. Polish companies are to be promoted erstwhile selecting contractors in state investments, and the task of administration is to take care of national interest. "I think, however, that we should primarily look at who will support Polish companies, investments and how effectively, due to the fact that that is what we request – he evaluates in an interview with Newseria agency Dr. Henryk Bochniarz, president of the Lewiatan Confederation's Main Council. "I make part of this communicative for the presidential campaign, which causes that in order to break through with anything, it is essential to usage very extremist wording. We should wait calmly for what solutions will be adopted,” added Henryk Bochniarz.
Competition conflict takes place on all possible forums
The Prime Minister stressed that the interests of Polish companies should be taken care of and the government intends to support them in investment and tender processes. State institutions will be required to choice national suppliers if they offer comparable conditions. fresh mechanisms will besides be introduced for reporting the expenditure of companies with the participation of the Treasury and supervising the structure of their orders. Tusk pointed out that although Poland is firmly embedded in global communities, including mainly in the European Union, under the same rules another countries were better protected by their own interests. Although the public procurement framework is the same across the EU, in any countries home companies have always won, in Poland – only sometimes.
– Isolationist tendencies happen in very many countries, the USA is the best example of this. But even in the countries of the European Union, we face the direct promotion of our industry, of our services, and there is nothing incorrect with that, if it falls within the general rules. Even in Poland, we would like our Prime Minister, if he is on a abroad visit, to take entrepreneurs with him, as the Prime Minister or the president of France or the Chancellor of Germany does," explains Henryk Bochniarz. – It seems that there are elements of the promotion of the country that we should absolutely besides apply. The competition conflict takes place on all possible forums. Even if our companies are very enterprising and able to fight in abroad markets, they will surely request support from state institutions.
We are part of the EU and so the rules in force for all should be maintained
In her opinion, it is crucial to facilitate their functioning in order to take care of the interests of home companies. As he argues, without deregulation of the economy, we will not accelerate our development.
– We have agreed with the Prime Minister to meet with the economical environment, where we will discuss what elements of support we truly think are essential and right. Now that there is simply a retreat from globalism and it is clear that countries are starting to fight first for their own, we request to look at the instruments that could possibly be used. We must remember that we are a part of the EU, and so the rules in force for all should be maintained, but this is not contrary to looking for different methods of support for Polish companies," says Bochniarz.
For a tiny company, legal unpredictability is killing
The Confederate Leviathan has prepared a "Black List of Barriers" that hinders businesses. It includes almost 300 deregulation proposals for entrepreneurs, which focus on 7 key areas: taxation, employment, energy, health, media, financial marketplace and digitalisation. These are concrete proposals that are meant to make business in Poland, strengthen companies and stimulate the economy.
– Unfortunately, this legal mess, taking solutions from day to day, frequently the deficiency of explanation by the administration of regulations that it introduces itself – these are things that Polish companies, especially tiny and medium-sized companies, do not help. I would alternatively focus on those issues that would give tiny and medium-sized companies a chance to grow well. The large abroad corporations are doing rather well under these circumstances, while for a tiny company legal unpredictability is killing," emphasized Henryk Bochniarz.
