Szczurek: GDP growth will disappoint

Compared to June estimates, next year’s economic growth will be disappointing, Finance Minister Mateusz Szczurek told Polish Radio on Monday. “This is important both for the budget and for households, companies,” he said. The minister referred to the budget draft for 2015, approved by the government last week. The draft includes an estimate of 3.4-percent growth next year. “The difficulty with this budget is that the economic revival is still not satisfactory while there is still need for savings,” Szczurek said.
