Due to the current global situation, mainly due to the influence of Russia's war with Ukraine, Coface lowered its economic growth forecasts - in the case of Poland, the current forecast is 3.5 percent. (compared to earlier 4.4%), Grzegorz Sielewicz, the chief economist of Coface in Poland and the Central European Region, informed ISBnews.tv.
"In the case of Poland, we have decided to lower the economic growth forecast for Poland from 4.4 percent to 3.5 percent. It is – I would say – a rather cautious revision so far, as we expect a positive impact in connection with the influx of refugees from Ukraine to Poland, at least it should be a positive short-term impact – due to higher consumption and higher demand for accommodation for these people,” Grzegorz Sielewicz stressed.
