Eight percent of respondents questioned in the European Cities Monitor 2005 by Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker (C&W/H&B) plan to establish their business in Warsaw over that period. In this respect Warsaw has outclassed Prague, Moscow and Budapest.

In general, Warsaw was ranked 20th as to the best cities to locate a business. Aleksander Loster from C&W/H&B points to the problem that Warsaw is not as well-recognized as Prague or Budapest. "If the location recognition factor was not taken into account, Warsaw would be in the first 10 on the list."
