Poland in top five in world investor confidence ranking

The report was prepared on the basis of a questionnaire filled in by the executives of companies which generate 70% of foreign direct investment in the world. In the previous report, Poland was in twelfth place but now it is behind only four countries, namely, China, India, the USA and the United Kingdom. "Such a spectacular advancement of our country is a surprise," commented Tomasz Kalinowski from the Institute of Market Economy Research. Other countries of the region with which Poland competes for foreign investment were classified several places behind: Hungary in the eleventh place and the Czech Republic in twelfth. Poland won third place after China and India in terms of confidence among European investors. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B3, Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 29; Puls Biznesu, p. 13) E.B
