BDF Chairman Uffe Ellemann-Jensen held an introductory speech on the role of Poland in regional cooperation.
Arguments in favour of the Polish market
Business connections across the Baltic Sea are thriving. Poland performed reasonably well during the global economic crisis and the outlook for its economy compare favourably with other countries in the Baltic Sea Region. Positive real GDP growth, moderate inflation, and a shrinking current account deficit distinguish Poland from other countries in the Region. Despite many imperfections, Poland can rely on a relatively sophisticated business environment. The Seminar offered the participants an excellent opportunity to acquire updated information on the Polish market and learn from other Swedish and Danish companies experiences from doing business there.
