Foreign investors returning to Poland more willingly: daily
15:33
The lifting of the lockdown has caused foreign investors to establish more and more companies in Poland. In June, 8.5 percent more firms were registered than in May, informs the weekend edition of well-know Polish business daily “Puls Biznesu.”
As the paper points out, in line with experts’ predictions, Poland had another month of a marked increase in the number of registrations in the National Court Register (KRS) of companies with foreign capital. “In June there were 458 of them, which is an 8.5 percent increase over May (422) and a 31 percent increase over April (record low, middle of lockdown),” the newspaper states.
The daily notes that the June result is far from the high registration numbers in the months before the pandemic. “In March, foreign companies were established in our country by almost 37 percent more than in June and in February by 45 percent more,” claims the paper.
New foreign companies, as the newspaper emphasizes, are mainly focused on trade (19 percent), construction (16 percent) and transport (11.5 percent).
Meanwhile, the National Bank of Poland (NBP) estimates that the number of foreigners in Poland will drop from approximately 1.2 million people in 2019 to an estimated 1 million in 2020-2022, of which some 900,000 are employees from Ukraine.
