Kopacz: take cash on your Greek holiday

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said at the meeting with Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak, Finance Minister Mateusz Szczurek and deputy Foreign Minister Rafał Trzaskowski that the Polish banking sector is safe in the context of the ongoing European negotiations on Greece's debt. "I want to ensure that the Polish economy and Polish economic growth are steady. Our economic growth is based on sustainable elements, but mainly on domestic demand rather than the supply of foreign capital, which means that today our banking sector and the public finances are quite safe," said Kopacz. The prime minister also advised Polish tourists to check regularly the Foreign Ministry and the Finance Ministry websites due to the "dynamic situation" in Greece. "If I were to advise you on something, I would ask you to not count solely on credit cards and cash machines. Take more cash with you on vacation," she stressed.
