In Brief: Kety plan; MOL denial; Marie Claire's return; no Playboy TV
Leading aluminum producer Kety has presented a plan for its future
development without a strategic investor. Under the plan Kety will double
its exports within three years and earmark zl.40 million for dividend
payments over two years. (Puls Biznesu, p. 7 ) ... MOL of Hungary has denied
that it had anything to do with the massive purchase of shares in PKN Orlen
on Monday. Yesterday the price of shares in the Polish fuel giant dropped
2.3% to zl.21, a fall described by BM BPH PBK analyst Andrzej Lucjan as a
natural reaction after the Monday buying spree. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 10)
... After a two year absence Marie Claire has returned to the Polish market.
The magazine, whose new publisher is Marie Claire Album and Hachette
Filipacchi Polska, is targeted at the wealthier end of the market. (Gazeta
Wyborcza, p. 18) ... The National Radio and Television Council (KRRiTV) has
refused to grant Polsat a license to broadcast the Playboy TV channel. The
KRRiTV fears Polsat may break the rules by broadcasting adult programs
between 6am and 11pm. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 18) A.Z.
