Economy accelerating, but has issues with supply of materials
16:00
The pandemic caused bottlenecks not only in the finances of companies but also in the supply of materials, parts, and components from foreign contractors. The latest survey of the National Debt Register of the Economic Information Bureau KoronaBilans SME indicates that difficulties with the supply of components are reported by more than one-third of companies from the SME sector (36.5 percent). The same number of entrepreneurs forecast that problems with supplies will persist for the next three months. Importers are in the worst situation - every second of them already indicates difficulties in obtaining ordered goods from abroad.
"Polish exports and imports, as well as the entire economy, have clearly accelerated in recent months. This is a sign that business is returning to its former tracks and gives hope for rapid development. For companies that have overcome the difficulties of the pandemic, this is an opportunity to gain new footholds and fill the gaps that emerged on the international market after the supply chains were broken. In further expansion and development, however, flexibility and maintaining the pace of activity and its continuity will be key. The lack of components and materials can now be a greater challenge for companies trading with foreign countries than the lack of orders," Adam Łącki, President of the Management Board of the National Debt Register, emphasized.
