Poland loses its investment appeal
14:53
After three consecutive years of taking first place, Poland fell to the second spot in terms of investment attractiveness in a new ranking by the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
The Czech Republic came in first and Slovakia was third in the ranking of 16 Central and Eastern European countries.
As much as 42 percent of investors said that the condition of the Polish economy is good. More investors assessed the economic situation of the Czech Republic (56 percent) and Lithuania (53 percent) positively.
Poland recorded the worst results in the political stability category, below average for 16 countries.
"Over the last couple of years, the distance between the countries of the region has narrowed. The rivalry to entice investors increases. Political stability and economic predictability are important factors," Rolf Nikel, the German ambassador to Poland told Polish daily Puls Biznesu.
