Balcerowicz meets fiscal experts in U.S., NBP president to get finance prize

Balcerowicz noted there are similarities between his reforms and Brockway's: "The similarities are based on the elimination of tax relief for lower tax rates." During the annual IMF and World Bank session, Balcerowicz will receive a Euromoney prize and will sign for a DM 20 million loan for the Lublin Agriculture-Horticulture Exchange on behalf of Poland. National Bank of Poland (NBP) president Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, also in the U.S., will receive the Global Finance prize. (Zycie, page 16)
