GDP growth in Q2 "little" better than Q1

GDP growth in Q2 was better than Q1 by a small margin, deputy Minister of Development Jerzy Kwieciński said. "GDP growth of 3.8 percent in 2016 is still real", he added. "I expect a strong acceleration of growth by the end of Q3, which will be seen in the last quarter of 2016." Kwieciński said on Thursday at a press conference. GDP in Q1 rose 3 percent y/y, compared to 4.3 percent y/y in Q4 2015. Jerzy Kwieciński maintained the 3.8 percent forecast for the 2016 as likely possible, although " there are risks associated with inhibiting investment in infrastructure and a downturn in the EU."
