Brexit will not influence Polish GDP or currency - Morawiecki

Deputy Prime Minister and Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki proclaimed on Friday that the UK leaving the EU will not affect Polish GDP or the zloty currency. "A British exit from the European Union will not have any major impact on Poland's economic growth and volatility in the zloty currency will subside. I'm not afraid about the continuation of the economic cooperation with the UK, which is Poland's No.2 export partner with Poland sending goods there worth 11 billion euros a year, as free trade is also in UK's interest" Morawiecki said. Though, the official forecasted that such unexpected decision may negatively influence Polish markets for the next several days. In Thursday's ballot, 51.9 percent of Britons voted to leave the European Union, versus 48.1 percent who wanted to remain in the 28-member bloc. Turnout in the referendum was over 70 percent, with over 30 million people voting.
