Tusk at Davos to encourage investment in Poland

Of course, there is no stable [financial] haven in the world, but, actually, Poland is in one of the best economic situations of all European countries,”

Putin, as the nominated leading speaker, chose to talk generally about the economic predicament. This will have knock-on effects in due course on Poland.

How short-sighted you appear, Prince. A dent in confidence directly affects the propensity to trade with others. Are you saying that you have no trade with Russia and will not have in the future? How about those Russian businessmen, do you naively assume that they will just sidestep Poland altogether as a viable business proposition?

If we add to this discussion ... this one :

http://www.polishforums.com/poles_ranks_first_computer_coding-4_28493_ 0.html


Here is Polish chance for development as long as Polish computer programing education is already established it is just important to not lose this possition.

Some people say that it has something do do with developed military industry durring communist times (many " hard core" mathematicas were needed).

Poland has emerged relatively unscathed from the financial crisis. Other countries have been hit more heavily with layoffs and a noticeable dip in the confidence of investors. Poland has kept its faith in its ability to attract IT capital from elsewhere.

Sorry for my delay...SeanBM....here my answer...
My expectation for Poland's future is positive because of its high potential of young people. Poland has the youngest population in the EU.
People work hard on a good education. Of course, it will take time to get international standards here, but it will work. Furthermore Poles are used to be not too demanding what means that they will cope with that crisis better than other European members. Most people are hardworking and ambitious.
There aren't any incentives by the state to become lazy. So Poles are always forced to find solutions in their life. That's the point why so many entrepreneurs do work here on their own...and of course ... why so many people have to work abroad. But it is amazing how improvisation works in Poland. The main question is whether they will be able to reintegrate well-educated Poles who are just collecting important experiences abroad. They should make them come back as soon as possible.
Last, but not least...it is noteworthy that history seems to repeat itself. While there was a big crisis in Europe during the 14th century Poland began to grow economically as well as politcally . So let us see...I would bet...yeah...

Most of them are shifting to china, coz polish education is poor and poles are asking for too much of money.

I don't agree with you. Polish education is quite good. If I remember correctly, Poland took the second place due to the Pisa-Research...I do not think that Poles have paid any bribes before.

Absolutely not, Poles are generally highly educated and the system here is quite good, definitely world standard.

baskinsrobin:

Well, in comparison to China, where it is well known for it's human rights abuses and slave labour, then yes, you have a point there.

You cannot compare all things...baskinsrobin...the world is just turning to...I do not know where to, but I am sure that Poland will have overtaken some other European countries in 2020. As SeanBM mentioned, Poland shows world standard and all people from abroad have alreade noticed this point....except some Poles who are still thinking they are hundred years behind...

No pun intended, folks, but look at the former GDR and you'll see Poland's future. The adventurous and risk-taking people (and most of the Polish chicks) will leave the country to settle somewhere in the west. Those left behind will want their good ol' commi system back and vote accordingly. I have yet to see a former "communist" country prosper. Hopefully, Poland will be the first.

Given, that you are right, TheOther, pushing the thesis that Poles who stay in Poland want to set up communism once again - don't you think that we haven't already introduced communism in the world? Think on the state-owned banks in America and all over the world. During the financial crisis lots of banks were grabbed by the state, cause they have to be consolidated once again. I do not see any sharper tendencies to communism in Poland. Compared with Germany, Poland is the old capitalistic devil...

GodandBrown

You can have it both ways, I reckon. Either the people want their (imaginary) social and financial security from the "good old" communist times back, or they are looking for a strong hand that guides them through tough times. Poland is probably one of the very few countries from behind the old Iron Curtain which is not endangered to reestablish some sort of far-left regime. My personal guess is that they will vote for an ultra-nationalistic nut instead as soon as their economy goes down the drain.

We're not talking about the death of old ideologies, but about their resurrection. What's next? You tell me... ;-)
