Gov't and PKO BP to launch exports promotion program for SMEs

The Ministry of Development, jointly with state-controlled lender PKO BP, will launch a special exports promotion program aimed at small and medium sized companies, deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced. The official underscored that PKO BP is the biggest Polish bank and it should be treated in the same way as General Motors was treated in the US, in line with the saying: "what is good for the company was good for the country and vice-versa." "PKO BP is a lender that has the biggest database of SME clients. After we will take control over it, we will develop a special program for export promotions for those SMEs with export potential which find it hard to break through abroad," Morawiecki said.
