Poland improves in Grant Thornton Global Dynamism Index

With 61.1 out of 100 points scored, Poland ranked 21st in the latest Grant Thornton Global Dynamism Index (GDI), thus it advanced by three spots in comparison with the previous report. Poland's result was the same as Austria's, but better than Japan's, Thailand's and France's. "There is much to do to catch up with the leaders, Singapore, Israel and Australia, but 21st place has to be viewed positively. We did not simply advance, we are in the top few economies in the region (...) only Slovenia is ahead of us,"  Tomasz Wróblewski, managing partner at Grant Thorton, was quoted as saying in a press release. Due to the relatively high unemployment rate, Poland performed the worst in fields related to labor and human resources. On the other hand, thanks to a stable financial sector and relatively low CIT rate, Poland reached fifth position in terms of the financial environment. The Grant Thornton Global Dynamism Index (GDI) ranks the leading 60  economies on their dynamism in five key areas – business operating environment, economics & growth, science & technology, labor & human capital and financial environment.
