Polish transportation faces financial downer

Last year, 41 transportation firms went bankrupt, an increase of 11 percent on a yearly basis. Experts claim that this year may be even worse for the sector. Paweł Trębicki, general director at Raben Transport pointed out that the European Commission's final decision regarding minimum wage implemented in Germany last year and the possibility of establish smililar regulations in France will be the key factor influencing the situation in the Polish transportation. The  German law would decrease the competitiveness of Polish freight and transport companies, once applied to Polish drivers. Worst case scenario compiled by Deloitte assumes that costs of Polish transportation firms will grow avargerly by PLN 400,000 and 40 percent of them will record loss this year.
