NBP president-to-be puts her foot in it

On Wednesday she told Rzeczpospolita that it was not worth entering the Eurozone, while after a journalist's remark she turned round and said that Poland should join it as soon as possible. Economists were very negative on their opinions in relation to these statements, as the govnor of the central bank should be very careful when expressing their opinions while candidating for the post or shortly after appointment.According to Marek Nienaltowski, chief analyst of Secus Asset Management, such a small loss in the value of the zloty was only due to good foundations of the economy and inflow of investments. "Poland cannot breach obligations it took on. It seems that a person heading the economy faculty at the Warsaw School of Economics and being a candidate for one of the most important posts in the country, should know that by entering the EU, we made a decision on the Euro," said Nienaltowski. Urszula Grzelonska was surprised with the fact that markets reacted to her opinions. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1,14) M.M.
