State lottery losing money, still a sure bet for Treasury

In contrast TS's revenues last year stood at zł.2.4 billion. In Q1 of this year its revenues fell by 20%, as compared to the same period in the previous year. Despite the company's falling revenues, the Treasury Ministry is not worried about the future of TS, which feeds the state budget with over zł.1 billion annually. TS does not have a legal president as, according to documents, this position is theoretically held by Mirosław Roguski from the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD); Roguski, however, does not fulfill any duties. Moreover the company lacks a supervisory board. According to Treasury Minister Wojciech Jasiński, TS is preparing to launch new products, though they need an amendment to legal regulations. The government, however, is not and will not be working on this until the end of this year, according to current plans. (Puls Biznesu, pp.1, 4, 5) A.K.
