Population There are 38.4 million people in Poland and its population is falling - the birth rate has plunged dramatically since the fall of the iron curtain and many of the million or so Poles who left after EU accession in 2004 have yet to return. Compared with most other European countries, Poland has not attracted many immigrants either. According to the last census in 2002, 96.7% of the country are Polish, with the main ethnic minorities hailing from Germany, Ukraine and Belarus. Though the proportion of foreigners is thought to have increased slightly in the past nine years, Poland remains an almost exclusively white, Catholic country.

Existing agencies, EU funds and the Economic Forum are key to sustainable economic growth and fostering social capital - both in Małopolska and across Poland in 2011. There is cause for celebration and caution in Poland. On one hand, it is the only country in the EU that witnessed positive growth during the financial crises. Moreover, 2010 brought 4% growth, up from a 1.5% low in the previous year, and this quarter is likely to reflect this trend. Conversely, Poland is still placed 151st out of 183 countries in terms of 'business friendliness.' This statistic is drawn from a number of indicators including levels of corruption, transparency and the ease of penetrating the market. Solutions to attract foreign capital are legion, but some are more prescient than others. For example, structural and cohesion funds are available to help develop social and technological infrastructure to benefit the business environment. These funds aim to narrow the gap between market states in the EU in order to stimulate growth. They offer job creators an incentive to invest.

The crisis strongly affected the clothing and footwear business in Poland. The weakening of the Polish zloty translated into higher purchasing costs and increased rental fees at shopping centres.

A country of unique culture, history and geography, Poland increasingly attracts foreign business from all over the world thanks to recent economic changes. The last decade has been very successful for the country's economic growth and transformation. Joining NATO in 1999 and the European Union in May 2004 have opened the Polish market to foreign investors and development opportunities. Poland receives one of the largest pools of EU funding for development and infrastructure which makes it very attractive to foreign investors. Its location in the heart of Europe where Western and Eastern values meet creates an ideal opportunity for business development. Below are some of the key benefits of doing business in Poland.

Poland's economy, the biggest in eastern Europe, grew at a faster pace last quarter on sustained exports and revived corporate investment, indicating interest rates may be raised by the end of this year.

Poland's use of EU funding has been the most efficient of all new member states, contributing to the country's resistance to the recession, high-ranking Polish politicians and business figures claimed last week.

Polish policy maker Andrzej Rzonca, who joined the central bank's rate-setting board in January, forecast faster economic growth than the bank's Feb. 26 estimate through 2011 and 2012.

Watching the world's leaders stumble their way through the economic crisis, it often feels as if political success and economic understanding are mutually exclusive. Even the Chinese, who over the past generation have engineered a dramatic turnaround from their Maoist economic nightmare, show a remarkable willingness to pursue a monetary policy (a currency peg to the U.S. dollar) that yields no benefit to their citizens. Amid this morass of economic quackery, it is refreshing to see a clear ray of sanity emanating from one country: Poland.
