Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of the spring edition of the European Forum for fresh Ideas 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. – However, it seems to me that we should first of all look at who and how effectively will support Polish companies, investments, due to the fact that that is what we request – says Dr. Henryk Bochniarz, president of the Lewiatan Confederation's Main Council.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the beginning of EFNI Spring 2025 "The future of work, the work of the future" stated that the era of naive globalisation is ending, and the time is coming to rebuild the national economy, repolonization of the economy, the marketplace and capital.
– I'm putting together a part of this communicative for the presidential campaign, which causes you to usage very extremist wording to break through anything. We should wait calmly for what solutions will be adopted if possible – he evaluates in conversation with Newseria agency Henryk Bochniarz, president of the Lewiatan Confederation's Main Council.
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 does the Prime Minister or the president of France or the Chancellor of Germany. explains Henryk Bochniarz. – It seems that there are elements of the country's promotion 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.
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 part of the European Union, so the rules applicable to all should be maintained, but this is not contrary to the search for different methods of support for Polish companies – says the expert.
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. large abroad corporations are doing rather well under these circumstances, while for a tiny company legal unpredictability is killing – emphasises Henry Bochniarz.
As he emphasises, specified political declarations may be of concern to abroad investors, but should not affect their investment decisions and plans.
– Poland is simply a very attractive marketplace for many reasons. Firstly, it is simply a very large marketplace for consumers not only Polish but besides European consumers, and secondly, it is inactive unmet needs in many areas. Therefore, it seems to me that if individual genuinely plans to invest here, they take all these elements into account. Of course, political declarations should not be underestimated, but those who are serious about the Polish marketplace will stick to their investment decisions, and if they consider them, they will be rational – assesses the expert of the Confederate Leviathan.
According to the Prime Minister's announcements, major infrastructure and energy investments will be an crucial component of support for Polish companies. Among them is the construction of the first atomic power plant in Poland. The company implementing this investment must allocate over PLN 50 billion to contracts with Polish companies. Another example is the freight terminal in Sławkowo, 1 of the key logistics points that abroad operators have besides sought over the years.
