State Treasury property, buildings, shares, etc. may be worth zl. 542 billion

During its last session of the year the government issued a report about the condition of the State Treasury, as well as a document called National Strategy for Regional Development 2001-2006. The poorest regions will receive financial subsidies twice as large as the wealthiest ones. Poland' s average GDP should amount to more than 47% of current European Union (EU) GDP by 2006. State Treasury property which it is possible to evaluate or appraise, thus excluding national monuments and historic buildings, is worth zl. 542.7 billion. The value of state-owned land is estimated at zl.217.2 billion, state buildings at zl.114.1 billion, and the value of shares at zl.104.7 billion. Liabilities total zl.13.3 billion. The only economic property excluded from the report was the property of the National Bank of Poland (NBP). (Prawo i Gospodarka, Dec. 30, 2000 - Jan. 1, 2001, p. 2) M.M.
