GDP may grow faster than 3.3% - Szczurek
The results shown by the Polish economy in the first quarter of this year allow for a more optimistic view of this year’s GDP growth, Finance Minister Mateusz Szczurek told business news station TVN24 Biznes i Świat. Growth in 2014 may be higher than the government’s forecast of 3.3 percent, he said.
The data for Q1 were good despite a decline in exports related to the situation in Russia and Ukraine, Szczurek said.
The minister said that if current trends are continued, GDP growth in 2014 may even exceed 3.5 percent, but forecasts are better kept at a more cautious level.
