Tusk in the driving seat as markets look to PO victory for major reforms

In the second round, he would win the elections with a 60:40 majority over Lech Kaczyński, the leader of Law and Justice (PiS). Currently, third position, with 13% support, is held by Andrzej Lepper. Recent polls indicate that PiS is making up its gap in relation to PO and according to one of the polls PiS has even overtaken Civic Platform. These results had a strong influence on the value of the złoty, shares and bonds. This is due to the fact that the stronger the victory of PO, the better the standing of the markets. According to pre-election pledges, PO is likely to carry out far more ambitious reforms than PiS. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3, B1) M.M.
