Chinese companies increasingly investing in Poland

One of their largest recently, was a loan granted to the fourth domestic mobile operator Play. "Our company was established a year and a half ago. We needed the most modern technology and capital. We found both of these in China," said P4 deputy president, Zbigniew Nasilowski. "In the initial phase we needed EUR150 million of capital and the China Development Bank (CDB) helped us out." The deputy president of CDB, Zhao Jianping added that this is not their final word. "Opportunities for Chinese companies exist in infrastructure investments - the construction of roads and airports," said Zhao Jianping, adding that Chinese companies could spend hundreds of millions of dollars in Poland in the near future. As of now this figure stands at $100 million, while Polish investments in China stand at $120 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 11) A.K.
