Employers' organizations want Polish Deal to suspend

It is a vote of no confidence in the flagship idea of ​​the United Right. Entrepreneurs do not want the Polish Deal. They believe that it is a threat to the country's economy.

It is an appeal of the nine largest organizations of entrepreneurs, bringing together the largest and smallest companies in the country under the so-called Entrepreneurship Councils – Lewiatan Confederation, ABSL, Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs, KIG, Polish Business Council, Employers of Poland, Polish Bank Association, BCC and Polish Craft Association.

Organizations write of great concern. They argue that the solutions contained in the Polish Deal raise many serious reservations. Instead of investing in economic development – raising taxes. Instead of investing in innovation – division and redistribution. Money from those who work is to be given to those who do not. Mostly retirees.

"Families in retirement age will get PLN 11.3 billion. Most of the working-age families will suffer a total loss of PLN 6.2 billion," representatives of entrepreneurs said.

According to business, Polski Deal is neglecting the key development challenges Poland is facing. This is, for example, a declining population: by 2050 it will drop by 4.4 million people, according to the Central Statistical Office. It is an energy transformation, climate protection, a low investment rate. This is inflation – today it is either the highest or one of the highest in the entire EU. Finally, it is the declining growth rate of the economy in the long run.

"The benefits of a higher tax-free amount and a higher second tax scale threshold will be offset by the linear method of calculating the health insurance contribution. This solution especially hits the middle class and thus weakens key sectors of the Polish economy," business organizations believe.
