– The war has reshaped the reality of Europe’s security and economy. One of the fundamental issues that our report focuses on is all the consequences of this war, emphasised Zygmunt Berdychowski, Chairman of the Programme Council of the Economic Forum, during the presentation of the annual report of the Warsaw School of Economics and the Economic Forum.
Challenging environment
– It is essential that we seek not just a diagnosis, but also directions for the economies of Central and Eastern Europe, so that this period of stagnation, which undoubtedly awaits us, is as short as possible, Berdychowski added. – The report presents trends, risks and challenges, as well as future directions to ensure our region’s economies continue to grow despite the conditions we have to face, such as a pandemic, a terrible war, inflation, limited access to energy resources or deteriorating climate of public opinion, noted Piotr Wachowiak, Vice-chancellor of the Warsaw School of Economics.

Paweł Borys, President of the Polish Development Fund, underlined the importance of two priorities for the Polish economy as indicators for economic policy. – The first is to preserve the potential of the economy so that, once it has gone through erratic periods, it can return to a path of sustainable growth, without a spike in unemployment and a wave of company bankruptcies, P. Borys said. Second, it is important to establish a certain “NATO economic security system”.
