(ANSA) - KRYNICA ZDROJ, SEPTEMBER 3 - Average annual GDP
growth rate in 1990-2018 in Poland was the highest in the group
of eleven countries of Central and Eastern Europe and almost
three times higher than in the 'old' EU-15 states and in 2019 it
will probably exceed Portugal. This is what emerges from the
report 'Central and Eastern Europe in the face of global trends:
economy, society and businesses' carried out by the SGH School
of Economics in Warsaw, the oldest university in the Polish
sector, based on an elaboration of Eurostat data, EU Commission
and Gus (Polish Statistical Office, ndr), presented at the
opening of the 29th Krynica Economic Forum, the so-called Davos
of Eastern Europe, with over 4,500 participants including
politicians, business experts and managers.
Poland has closed the development gap in respect of GDP per
capita as compared to Greece in 2015 . Assuming that the average
growth tendencies will remain at the current level, Poland will
need 14 years to achieve the average income per EU-15 citizen
and 21 years to catch up with Germany.
