Morawiecki: European Commission forecast for Polish GDP ‘underestimated’

According to Deputy PM Mateusz Morawiecki, the current European Commission GDP forecast is “underestimated.” “In February, the European Commission lowered GDP growth forecast from 3.4 percent to 3.2 percent, but after two months the Commission concluded that GDP growth forecast has to be increased, and raised it to 3.5 percent. I think this forecast is underestimated. There are chances of even higher growth than the Commission predicts,” Morawiecki said at a press conference in Brussels. According to Morawiecki, the EC sees a progress made by Polish economy, thanks to, among others, his development plan. “The Commission sees that our economy is sustainable, both in macro and micro terms. Strong GDP growth thanks to investments supports healthy economic growth,” he added.
