Transportation sector with record high debt

The Polish transportation sector's debt grew by PLN 149 million throughout last year, to PLN 487 million, the National Debt Registry (KRD) reported. In January-December 2015 the percentage of transportation firms in debt increased by 60 percent and totaled 16,038. The average company debt amounts to PLN 30,384.

"The transport industry is very sensitive to any market turmoil. Although it was not its worst year and the portfolios of businesses getting more money, still it has to face some adversity, like the introduction of minimum wages or the Russian embargo," president at KRD Adam Lacki said.
