Polands New Government

Tue 13th May 2008

The new government is determined to speed up privatisation. It has unveiled a four-year plan that calls for the sale of state-owned shares in 740 companies to generate up to zl.30 billion in extra revenue for the Treasury.
The plan covers sectors such as energy, financial institutions, oil and chemicals. To be put into practice, the government's privatization agenda requires an amendment to the privatisation law, so that privatisation procedures become more transparent. For now, the government's privatisation agenda has won the thumbs up from the business community.
