Morawiecki: Poland to create national champions

The Minister of Development, Mateusz Morawiecki, told Polish daily Puls Biznesu that Poland will consider creating national champions in sectors where it thinks there are too many smaller state-run firms. "I see the sense in further integration of certain entities ... which could become more important players on the European or global market," Mateusz Morawiecki said. Consolidating smaller companies into bigger entities would facilitate spending more on research and development (R&D) and gaining access to cheaper capital.
