It pays to build factories in Poland

( 11 / May / 2009 )

Poland went up 10 positions and ranks 5th in the investment attractiveness ranking in the category of industrial facility destination.

The ranking covered 20 countries. Poland came 5th and was only preceded by Chile, Bulgaria, Malesia and China. Poland’s neighbour - Slovakia ranked on the 7th position. Experts attribute the change to the trust foreign investors developed towards Poland. Indeed the country has been considerably improving its image due to the fact that the process of investment realisation in the country no longer involves big investment risk. - Against the backdrop of an economic slowdown observed in other countries, the Polish economy is stable. - Adam Żołnowski from PwC told the “Rzeczpospolita” daily. In the category assessing investments, Poland classified on the high 3rd position. Here only Slovakia and Chile outstripped Poland. Slovakia mainly thanks to the adoption of euro and Chile due to strong economic relations with the USA.

PwC experts claim that Poland effectively outstrips other countries competing for investments thanks to a big labour market, stable political situation and still relatively low labour costs. EU membership also constitutes one of the country’s major advantages. Foreign investors gradually become aware of the fact that the Polish economy is in a far better condition than the economic systems e.g. in Ukraine or Hungary and see that the region of Central and Eastern Europe should no longer be perceived as a homogenous zone in economic terms.
