Fuel cuts and global strain
Governments and markets face mounting pressure as geopolitical tensions and regulation reshape the outlook. Poland is considering cutting fuel prices by reducing VAT to 8%, lowering excise duty to EU minimums and introducing price caps—moves that could cut pump prices by up to PLN 1.20 per litre.
Corporate finance teams, particularly in Germany, are under strain from AI adoption, new EU rules and weak data quality. Meanwhile, Trans Polonia is advancing talks on a takeover worth up to PLN 2 billion, though financing remains unclear.
Polish tax authorities are increasing scrutiny of overseas assets, especially Dubai real estate. Domestically, gastronomy, tourism and ICT sectors are expanding, while energy-intensive industries lag.
Globally, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and conflict involving Iran threaten growth, with the OECD warning of rising inflation and weaker economic momentum.
