Poland has enjoyed the highest economic growth in the region in recent years and it bucked the trend by being the only country in the European Union that did not go into recession during the last global economic crisis.

With a stable economic situation, a skilled work force, an internal market of almost 40 million citizens and large funding inflows from the EU, Poland offers foreign investors an outstanding opportunity for new business projects.

This opinion is confirmed by international publications. According to the Bloomberg Rankings 2014, Poland is the best country in Eastern Europe and Central Asia in which to do business because of its expanding consumer market and improving infrastructure. In the EY's attractiveness survey 2014, Poland was ranked as the most attractive country in Central and Eastern Europe in which to invest in the coming years.
