NBP-Government team hammer out strategy to enter Euro zone

The members of the group included, Deputy Finance Minister Ryszard Michalski and Deputy NBP President Andrzej Bratkowski. "The aim of the government and the NBP is to follow economic policies to strengthen the economy and enable us to ensure both high and stable growth which will eventually lead to a rapid and authentic convergence," read an announcement issued after the meeting. The team has also worked out a list of priorities which need to be fulfilled as soon as possible to meet Euro zone entry requirements. A key point of this strategy is an assumption that the period of time within the ERM2 system has to be as short as possible. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B7; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 19)
