Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has provided companies and employees with support under Anti-Crisis and Financial Shields. Currently, Poland enjoys increasingly better development prospects and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union. Further economic development largely depends on the strength of Polish companies. With this in mind, another important step includes the implementation of the Polish Deal. During his visit to Eko-Okna, the head of government stressed that the Polish Deal is dedicated to entrepreneurs and was prepared to ensure the continuous development of Polish production and export. The Prime Minister also participated in the opening of the Japanese Garden in the Silesia Park.

”The largest challenges require large-scale mobilisation. Industrial transformation is one of them.

The topic of the debate was the security of energy supply and raw materials in an era of the European Green Deal and Polish Deal.

The Zgierz Sports and Leisure Centre is among the largest sports investments in Poland. Zgierz inhabitants will have a state-of-the-art centre to engage in physical activity.

The Polish Deal covers modernisations to communes and counties across Poland.

The meeting of the leaders of the Visegrád Group and the Prime Minister of Slovenia took place in Ljubljana, after which the Prime Ministers of the Visegrád Group countries made a joint statement. The leaders discussed the reinforcement of the protection of external borders of the European Union, which is an effective way of combating irregular border crossings. Every seventh European is a citizen of the Visegrád Group countries, which means that the opinion voiced from that European region is crucial.

The government believes in innovative solutions for the economy. With this in mind, the Polish Deal programme will support Polish technologies that will create the industries of tomorrow. It also means creating conditions for the development of clean environment, better quality of life, and more well-paid jobs for Poles.

We allocate resources for investments that are close to people. With the Government Fund for Local Investments, financial resources go to communes, counties, and cities and towns all across Poland.

The idea of rebuilding the Saxon Palace is part of the Polish Deal programme. As a result, the most important palace in Warsaw will regain its former glory, while Warsaw will regain prestigious and attractive space for cultural and educational purposes. The draft act provides for the reconstruction to begin in 2023. The draft act also provides for the reconstruction of the remaining buildings, which used to constitute the frontage of the Piłsudski Square before World War II, namely the Brühl Palace building and three tenement houses at ul. Królewska. Mateusz Morawiecki, the President of the Council of Ministers, participated in a ceremony, in which President of Poland Andrzej Duda presented the Marshal of the Sejm with the draft Act on the preparation and implementation of the investment concerning the reconstruction of the Saxon Palace, Brühl Palace, and tenement houses at ul. Królewska in Warsaw.

The number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in Poland is currently low. However, the pandemic has not ended yet, and the coronavirus disease is still a force to be reckoned with. We must stay vigilant – other virus mutations pose a major threat. The government is preparing an action plan for the 4th wave that might come. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki participated in a staff meeting on the epidemic situation in Poland.
