PAIiIZ president sees solid investment in BRIC countries

"I would like to follow the example of UK Trade & Investment and concentrate on some countries from the BRIC group (Brazil, Russia, India and China). It is those countries that are the source of a large investment flow," declared Andrzej Kanthak, the president of the agency. PAIiIZ has already begun activities aimed at attracting investors from China and India but the inclusion of Brazil in the group of its potential targets was a surprise. "The democratization of this [Brazilian] economy and its very large GDP indicator are encouraging," added Kanthak. However, former PAIiIZ executives have different opinions on what should be the main focus of the agency in future. The previous president of PAIiIZ, Adam Zolnowski, believes that the agency should continue to encourage investors from the USA and Europe to invest in Poland. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) E.B.
