EC predicts Polish GDP at 3.5%

The European Commission predicts Poland's GDP to stand at 3.5 percent this year and the employment rate to keep falling, Valdis Dombrovskis, European Commission Vice-President for the Euro and Social Dialogue said after a meeting with Paweł Szałamacha, the Polish Minister of Finance. "I am arriving in Warsaw at the point when the Polish economy is on a stable track of strong growth. It's worth noticing that it was the only one which did not suffer from the financial crisis, this is a really huge achievement," Dombrovskis said. He pointed out that Poland should maintain a healthy fiscal policy, because "healthy public finance is the road to a long-term growth" and harbors trust in the economy.
