Morawiecki: Polish GDP growth will be below estimates

During his stay in Silesia, deputy prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Polish GDP "still has the chance of 3.5 percent yearly growth," an estimate lower than the Ministry's of Finance which puts it at 3.9 percent. The Minister of Finance  Paweł Szałamacha said earlier that the country's budget for 2017 is based on a estimated GDP growth at a 3.8-3.9 level, even if he didn't rule out  a revision of the projection. A slowdown of the Polish economy is also expected by economists surveyed by Puls Biznesu, which predicted 3.4 percent as likely, and by the National Central Bank (3.5 percent).
