Polish Investments to get extra capital next year

Treasury Minister Włodzimierz Karpiński expects that there will be a need for extra capital in the Polish Investments program next year, the Polish Press Agency reported. The Polish Investments program is carried out by investment vehicle PIR and state-owned lender BGK. “This year we capitalized PIR with PLN 1.2 billion,” Karpiński said. Next year, “if there is a need from the part of PIR or BGK, we will surely consider it,” the minister said. “We expect there to be a need.” PIR is expected to be involved in projects worth PLN 10 billion next year. In the case of BGK the sum may reach PLN 28 billion.
