In its latest Economic Survey of Poland, published on Monday, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development encouraged policy-makers to build on the country’s economic and social progress in order to “tackle major remaining challenges.”

“To sustain rising living standards Poland has to develop its capacity to innovate and invest in skills and infrastructure, as is acknowledged in the government’s Strategy for Responsible Development,” the report said.

Presenting the Economic Survey of Poland in Warsaw, OECD Deputy Secretary-General Mari Kiviniemi said: “Poland is in a strong position. A dynamic job market together with the Family 500+ [benefits] programme has helped make economic development more inclusive. Many people now benefit from new opportunities and rising incomes.”

Kiviniemi added: “The time is ripe to ensure that living standards continue to rise. Strengthening innovation, improving infrastructure and investing in skills will be crucial. With rising labour and skills shortages, many employers now realise how important it is to invest in training.”
