Economy Ministry report says growth can be higher if more barriers are removed

The Economy Ministry's report entitled "Entrepreneurship in Poland 2004" states that the economy has gained momentum, companies are posting better and better results, and that investments are picking up. Nevertheless, Poland is still among the EU's least developed economies. We are not rated high as compared to the other new EU members either. The report concluded that in order to stimulate further economic growth, it will be necessary to focus on improving the tax system, managing the EU structural funds effectively, limiting bureaucracy, facilitating access to capital, enhancing the restructuring and privatization process of the companies from the state sector, improving the quality of judiciary, reform finance reform and promote Poland abroad.
