In Brief: Pokój; Gdynia Shipyard; Tourism Institute

Yesterday, the shareholders of Pokój steel mill decided to change the mill's supervisory board. The decision was made at the request of the Treasury Ministry, which holds a 25% stake in the mill. (Puls Biznesu, p. 4)... Kredyt Bank intends to lend the Gdynia Shipyard $91 million for the construction of four ships. The Treasury Ministry has guaranteed that the money will be repaid. Financing ship construction is likely to be easier thanks to the consolidation of the shipyard and the Poznań-based Cegielski plant. (Parkiet, p. 7)...According to estimates made by the Tourism Institute, in the first half of 2003, the number of foreigners visiting Poland has dropped by 3.2%. The largest decrease was recorded on the Ukrainian and Russian borders. (Parkiet, p. 7) A.Z
