Poles get wealthier

Wealth ratio for Poland increased by 0.5 points in February, the Bureau for Investments and Economic Cycles (BIEC) estimated. "The economic standing of a regular Pole has improved since last Fall, and it sped up in the recent two months. The main reason is an increase of salaries (by 3.6 percent in 2014). Additionally, due to deflation the real rise of salaries was around 4.6 percent year-on year. It increased the purchase power of Polish households and its sense of economic security," the report indicated. Bureau for Investments and Economic Cycles is a private institution specializing in macroeconomic analysis of the Polish economy.
