Polish entrepreneurs generate over 1/3 of GDP

Polish entrepreneurs generate over 1/3 of GDP in Poland. They are the most important employer in the country and invest more than international corporations according to the report "Przedsiębiorca odczarowany. Kim są twórcy polskiej gospodarki" (Eng. "Entrepreneur unbound. Who are the creators of the Polish economy"). Polityka Insight said in the report there are 662,000 entrepreneurs who run 884,000 companies. Residents of Mazowsze, Pomorze and Łódzkie voivodships are reported to be the most enterprising. The report indicated that entrepreneurs mainly run micro-enterprises, i.e. employ fewer than ten people. "The average employment scale in Polish businesses is just over four people per company, while the largest enterprises account for merely 0.3 percent of all companies," stated chief economist at Polityka Insight Adam Czerniak.
