Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
- With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.
- Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.
- To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.
- However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.
