Bydgoszcz best for doing business - World Bank

Among 18 Polish cities, Bydgoszcz is the best place for doing business by small and medium firms, according to the recent report compiled by the World Bank. Olsztyn and Białystok took the second and the third spot respectively, Puls Biznesu daily reported on Thursday. "This position is a result of a long-term process of supporting entrepreneurship in the city. For instance, we were the third Polish city where it was possible to register a company at "one window"... This is our common success," said Elżbieta Wiwatowska, the head of the Development Agency of Bydgoszcz. Kraków, Warsaw and Gdańsk were listed at the bottom of the ranking. According to an anonymous source cited by the daily, it is not surprising that Warsaw was ranked so low due to "a lack of cooperation with local authorities."
