Minister expects upgrade of Poland's GDP growth forecasts

Polish Investment and Development Minister Jerzy Kwiecinski expects that major international institutions will raise Poland's economic growth forecasts, putting the country's GDP growth figure at close to 5 percent in 2019. "The forecasts that have recently been raised by the OECD, the European Commission and the World Bank are so far at the 4.2-percent level. I expect that with subsequent reviews, the institutions will upgrade their forecasts for Poland for this year," Kwiecinski told a press conference. "We have a chance to get close to 5 percent GDP growth at the end of the year," the minister added.
