Small and medium-sized businesses are their own worst enemy says Forum

However, this is often caused by insufficient financing. “The introduction of new products for small businesses by banks, is, for the time being, just promises,” said Andrzej Lech, head of the Warsaw Banking Institute. The Forum participants held a positive opinion of the zl. 350 million government program for small and medium-sized businesses. However, they also said that for the time being the program is not running. (Rzeczpospolita, page A2)
