Survey finds Poland is still very attractive to investors

"The top ten position puts Poland alongside China and the USA, so it is still an honor," commented Agnieszka Tałasiewicz, a partner at Ernst & Young. After China, Poland is the second most attractive place in the world for industrial production. It has also improved its position as a location for research and development centers, jumping up from 7th place last year to 5th place now. When it comes to new investments in Europe, 18% of executives surveyed nominated Poland as their preferred location making it the second most popular country. Finally, for the second consecutive year Poland has lead the pack for job creation, with over 31,000 jobs created as a result of foreign investments, or over 200 jobs per investment project.
