LG and HP investments under threat

LG is planning to build a $110 million TV factory in Mława, while HP wants to build a $9 million financial services center in Wrocław, employing 1,000 people. The process of granting state aid to new investments involves public officials from the Government Center for Strategic Studies (RCSS), the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ) and several departments of the Economy and Labor Ministry (MGiP). This means that the government cannot present concrete offers of state investment subsidies to such potential investors considering Poland as a location for their new facilities as Volvo, Korean tire maker Hankook and Bridgestone.
