Dividends for state at 4 bln next year - source

Poland’s Ministry of Finance would like the state budget draft for 2015 to include planned dividend revenue of PLN 4 billion, according to a source quoted by the Polish Press Agency. The source said that the planned amount was in line with information provided by the Ministry of State Treasury, which supervises state-controlled firms. In early July Deputy Treasury Minister Wojciech Kowalczy had said that dividends from state-controlled firms in 2015 would be at a level similar to the one recorded in 2014. This year, the budget law stipulates for PLN 4.6 billion from the source.
