Construction industry sounding alarm about building strategic investments
16:10
Five major industry organizations — including the Polish Construction Employers’ Association and the Railway Business Forum — have appealed to the Ministry of Infrastructure with a proposal called “Five for Polish Construction”, urging immediate systemic action to stabilize the sector. Despite record government investment plans, the ministry has not responded. The initiative calls for: reforming the Railway Fund to ensure stable financing, improving contract indexation, supporting exports of Polish construction firms, simplifying administrative procedures, and prioritizing quality over lowest price in project tenders.
The construction sector, which accounts for 10% of GDP and employs 1.5 million people, faces severe debt exceeding PLN 5.8 billion. Industry leaders warn that without reforms, project delays and bankruptcies will threaten future investments.
