According to the prime minister, Poland's GDP growth in the last quarter of 2017 “may be close to five percent”, and 4.5 percent for the whole of the year.
“Our business model works,” Morawiecki said, adding that Poland was not selling off assets or draining companies of dividends and that Poland's crackdown on tax fraud was “inspiring awe in Davos”.
Morawiecki said that modernisation and innovation were the greatest challenges facing his country.
He also said that there was a lot of interest in Poland's economy at the World Economic Forum.
The 48th World Economic Forum started on Tuesday and closes on Friday. President Andrzej Duda is also promoting Poland in Davos. (vb/pk)
