Beating the barriers
Research commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labor reveals high taxation, uncertainty over government economic policy, the unstable economic situation and the high cost of borrowing as the biggest bones of contention for potential investors.
The IPSOS research center spoke to entrepreneurs operating in three voivodships for the report, which was published last week.
It highlights poor management in almost all the public institutions surveyed, problems with the flow of information within government, and growing corruption.
"Identifying barriers is important. However, it does not eliminate them. We must remember that we can't get rid of all the barriers, we must reduce their negative impact and we must make sure that new ones do not arise," said the deputy Minister of Economy, Irena Herbst. IPSOS suggests that red-tape can be reduced by improving the quality of the institutional environment, dialogue with economic organizations and clearer legislation.
