Polish entrepreneurs skeptical about changes to the Polish legal system after the elections

Zbigniew Jakubas, the head of the Multico Group and one of the richest Poles, says he does not expect any changes in the business environment after the elections. He is concerned, however, that the election promises, if fulfilled, will lead to massive handouts, government debt, and inflation.

Jakubas points out that the business community's voice has been ignored by politicians for years. This is best illustrated by the unfriendly, unclear, and rapidly changing regulations that are sometimes introduced without any consultation with entrepreneurs. In addition, the lengthy administrative procedures are delaying investment processes by years.

"To be blunt, I would prefer that politicians not interfere in the economy at all," Jakubas said.

"I have 40 years of business experience, starting in 1978, still under communism, and I have never really encountered any respect from politicians for business. They think they know everything, but they come to us for money before elections, and then they are very nice. And when they win, they say: no, business is unnecessary, we know how to run the country best,” Jakubas pointed out.
