Exit of Japanese advisor likely to hurt PAIiIZ's efforts

This is bad news as he actively promoted Poland in Japan and Japanese companies announced investments of zl.2.5 billion in Poland in 2006. According to sources, Japan is thinking of establishing a similar representative in Hungary. It also turned out recently that PAIiIZ will not open a branch in Japan, as the costs turned out to be too high. Moreover, the future of PAIiIZ and its future shape are still unresolved. "It is extremely important to sign an agreement with Mizuho Corporate Bank," said Andrzej Kanthak, CEO of PAIiIZ. Thanks to unofficial cooperation with the institution, representatives of PAIiIZ held a meeting with Kyocera, which expressed its will to invest in Poland. According to president Kanthak, there is a chance of repeating similar result in terms of attracting Japanese investments to Poland also next year. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 9) M.M.
