Sławek Szefs reports that optimistic news provided by Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS) has been confirmed by Eurostat data.

"It may be said with a high degree of certainty that factors which contributed to a decline of both extreme and relative poverty levels in 2016 were an increase in wages, a drop in unemployment and in the case of families with children the introduction of the government's 500+ programme of benefits,” said Elżbieta Rafalska, minister for family, labour and social policy.
