This year, 29% of Poles plan to spend an average of up to PLN 200 per person on Easter food shopping, 26.4% of Poles will spend PLN 200-300, and 16.5% will spend PLN 300-400. Many people will be looking for substitutes for some products, but the prices for them have increased as well, the report noted.<\/p>

Four left-wing Polish political parties, including New Left, Together, \r\nPPS and Unia Pracy, have signed an agreement to cooperate in \r\nparliamentary, local government, and European elections. The move aims \r\nto consolidate the left before the elections and construct a left-wing \r\nlist, to which trade unions, urban movements, and feminist circles are \r\nalso invited. The chairman of the New Left stated that the deal is the \r\nbeginning of the construction of the list of the left, and emphasized \r\nthat it is \"absolutely open\" and \"sincere\" to all associations, circles,\r\n and foundations. <\/p>

The co-chairman of Together, Adrian Zandberg,<\/font><\/font> highlighted that Poland \r\nneeds a strong, pro-social left, adding that it is the offer that Polish\r\n people will receive in the upcoming elections.<\/p>

The GfK Consumer Mood Barometer, i.e. a synthetic indicator illustrating the current mood of Poles in terms of consumer attitudes, amounted to minus 5.9 in October and fell by 1.9 percentage points compared to the previous month.<\/p>

The study was carried out on October 8-13, 2021, on a quota, representative nationwide sample of n = 1000 people.<\/p>

The barometer can take values \u200b\u200bfrom -100 to +100 and it is the balance between positive and negative opinions. A positive barometer value indicates that in a given survey wave, the number of optimistic consumers outweighs the number of pessimistic consumers. A negative value of the barometer means that the proportion is inverted.<\/p>

The barometer is an aggregated indicator commissioned by the European Commission, calculated since 1985. Currently, the index covers 27 countries. The data for Poland comes from a GfK study co-financed by the European Commission. <\/p>

After an in-depth analysis, I decided to sign the amendment to the Code of Administrative Procedure adopted by the Sejm and Senate, President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with PAP.<\/p>

The amendment to the CAP was passed in June. PAP asked the president on Saturday for a decision in this matter. As Andrzej Duda replied, \"he made a decision today on the bill, which has been the subject of a lively and loud debate in the country and abroad in recent months,\" and signed an amendment to the Code of Administrative Procedure.<\/p>

The president also expressed his conviction that \"with the signature, the era of legal chaos ends \u2013 the era of re-privatization mafias, the uncertainty of millions of Poles and lack of respect for the basic rights of citizens of our country\". As he added, \"he believes in a state that protects its citizens from injustice.\"<\/p>

\u201cI am glad that despite the heated political disputes that accompany us on a daily basis around these changes, which are extremely important from the point of view of Polish women and Poles, we have managed to build a political consensus. None of the political groups opposed the amendment to the CAP, both in the Sejm and the Senate. This shows even more clearly how important and expected these legal changes are and that they enjoy broad support in our country,\u201d stressed the president.<\/p>

Half of Ukrainians spend a maximum of three months in Poland, and almost one in three comes for six months, according to the Personnel Service's Polish Labor Market Barometer. It is a derivative of the most popular declaration procedure among Ukrainians, which allows them to work for six months a year. This model of migration is not optimal from the point of view of employees and employers. The latter has been calling for changes for several years. Now it can be done. The new draft migration policy draws attention to the problem of the short duration of migration and focuses, inter alia, on supplementing the shortages on the labor market with foreigners with high qualifications, whose employment for a short time does not make sense.<\/p>

Economic immigration to Poland is mainly short-term and circular. The Polish Labor Market Barometer shows that 47 percent of the staff from the East spend a maximum of three months with us, 30 percent come for a period of 3-6 months, 14 percent work in Poland for 6-12 months, and only 4 percent for over a year. It can be seen, however, that Ukrainians have gotten used to coming to Poland to earn a living, which is why most of them have visited our country more than once in the last five years (71 percent). Moreover, 65 percent of them declare that they intend to come here to work again.<\/p>

\u201cThe consequence of the short-term and circular migration model is employing workers from Ukraine at a lower level. The possibility of working legally for only six months means that many companies do not find it profitable to invest in training staff from the East for higher positions. However, a constant upward trend can be seen when it comes to offering employees from beyond the eastern border better job offers. In 2019, specialized positions were occupied by 4 percent of working Ukrainians, in 2020 already 9 percent, and in 2021 we exceeded 12 percent. If the new draft migration policy is implemented, these indicators will go up,\u201d Krzysztof Inglot, President of the Management Board of Personnel Service, said.<\/p>

According to the report commissioned by the Polish Smog Alert, the inhabitants of the largest cities expect from local governments in terms of transport and how the pandemic affected the ways of traveling in agglomerations. The views of all respondents are quite similar \u2013 the statistics show only a slight discrepancy in responses between cities, therefore one can speak of one common view and generalize the conclusions drawn from the report. Most people support public transport and declare their willingness to use public transport - but on the condition that it is fast, passenger-friendly and comfortable. It is these features that are most important to Poles.<\/p>

\u201cTicket prices are not the most important issue for residents of large cities \u2013 but punctuality, travel time and comfort. This can be achieved in various ways,\u201d Piotr Siergiej from the Polish Smog Alert said.<\/p>

\u201cPoles support such solutions as, for example, bus lanes \u2013 that is, separate road lanes only for buses. We have got used to the fact that the voice of drivers seems to be the loudest and most significant at the same time - while cities are primarily pedestrians. The study shows that the biggest problem of Polish cities is traffic jams \u2013 residents do not like traffic jams and cars in cities, it bothers them. At the same time, they want to reach their destination quickly and comfortably. What remains is public transport \u2013 which the public supports, but under these conditions. Hope rests in local governments that can change their transport policy in favor of public transport and get rid of the most polluting cars from the city centers of their cities,\u201d Siergiej analyzed.<\/p>

In the second quarter of 2021, representatives of the Entrepreneurship Council submitted comments on key projects for the future of Poland. The organization's representatives appealed for the necessary changes to the solutions presented in the documents relating to the Polish Governance, the National Reconstruction Plan, the Polish Energy Policy 2040, and the Polish Industrial Policy.<\/p>

The upcoming legislative and structural changes related to the announcement and planned introduction of the Polish Order and other strategic economic projects as well as counteracting the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic were the main areas of activity of the Enterprise Council chaired by ABSL.<\/p>

\"In recent months, under the leadership of ABSL, the Entrepreneurship Council published seven positions and appeals. As part of the ongoing dialogue with the public administration, representatives of the Council also developed a number of recommendations regarding the promotion of the vaccination program, planned tax changes, and new regulations regarding the protection of personal data that were transferred The representatives of Council also communicated the positions of Polish business to the government side during working meetings with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Deputy Prime Minister Jaros\u0142aw Gowin and Minister of Finance Tadeusz Ko\u015bci\u0144ski,\" Jacek Levernes, Honorary President of ABSL, commented.<\/p>

In early May, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Deputy Prime Minister Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski announced the assumptions of the Polish Order \u2013 a program of far-reaching legislative changes affecting the development and economy of Poland. The planned new levies and economic transformations will have a significant impact on business operations in Poland.<\/p>

At the end of May, the Entrepreneurship Council published its position on the Polish Order, in which it emphasizes that investments and innovations are the conditions for further economic development. The division and redistribution of state income, which is the main interest of the authors of the Polish Deal, should be balanced by solutions supporting the building of a favorable legal environment for investors and innovators.<\/p>

In the first quarter of this year, the Ukrainians left PLN 453 million in the wallets of entrepreneurs in Poland. This is three times less than a year ago when the expenditure amounted to PLN 1.48 billion, according to the latest data of the Central Statistical Office. Such a large decrease is the result of the ongoing pandemic and the resulting difficulties at the borders. Personnel Service experts indicate that we should see an increase in expenses in the coming quarters, which will be largely the result of a low base. We will not come close to the level of expenses recorded before the pandemic when in 2019 Ukrainians spent almost PLN 7.8 billion in Poland. In the pandemic 2020, these expenses dropped to PLN 2.6 billion and this year they will probably oscillate around this amount.<\/p>

The latest report of the Central Statistical Office shows that in the first quarter of this year. foreigners crossed the Polish border 20 million times, which is 42.3 percent less compared to the previous year. The decline is largely the result of the ongoing pandemic \u2013 a year ago, restrictions related to border traffic did not start until the end of March. Currently, border traffic is still limited.<\/p>

As many as 32 percent of companies complain about problems with obtaining timely payments from their contractors, according to the 7th edition of the KoronaBilans SME survey, commissioned by the National Debt Register (KRD). This is most often the case for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the service sector. In turn, almost 30 percent of companies admit that due to the pandemic they do not pay their invoices on a regular basis. Most often, such problems are reported by the manufacturing industry.<\/p>

The percentage of companies that reached for additional financing and signed loan or lease agreements during the pandemic increased by over 8 percentage points. More than 35 percent of enterprises have recently decided to do so. At the same time, some of them predict that they may have problems with repayment of loan installments in the next three months. Almost 17 percent of companies have such concerns.

\"2\/3 of entrepreneurs have financial obligations in the form of loans or leasing. In addition, the percentage of those companies that decided to incur additional liabilities during the pandemic increased to over 35 percent.

Rent arrears amounted to PLN 175.6 million at the end of January, according to data collected in the BIG InfoMonitor Debtors Register. The average rent debt of a private person amounts to PLN 20,000, and of the company exceeds PLN 37,000. Between January 2020 and January this year, the rent arrears alone, visible in the register, increased by PLN 20 million to PLN 175.6 million. About PLN 15.7 million of this amount belongs to companies that rent premises. Although the debt increased, the number of debtors fell from over 9,100 to 8,500 people and companies.<\/p>

\"The smaller number of debtors for rent is the result of their increasing mobilization by managers of residential and commercial premises. Two solutions are used for this purpose: sending requests for payment, and if that does not work, then also entering the debtor in the BIG register, which is a consequence of already 30-day delays for at least PLN 200 in the case of private persons and PLN 500, if the debtor is a company,\" \u0141ukasz R\u0105czkowski from BIG InfoMonitor said.<\/p>

According to BIG InfoMonitor data, women predominate among rental debtors (53 percent vs. 47 percent men). Also in the research, more women than men (23 percent vs. 20 percent) declared that last year they had problems with paying their current bills on time. According to the study, people aged 55-64 are also less able to cope with payments, as reported by 28 percent of respondents.<\/p>

The Orange Foundation\u2019s campaign, \"Don\u2019t Scroll Through Life,\" highlights the importance of maintaining digital hygiene, especially during the holiday season, which is a good time for reflection.<\/p>

\u201cScrolling has become a universal habit that affects all of us. We scroll everywhere \u2013 on public transport, during meetings with loved ones, and even at work or business meetings. Essentially, a screen is always within reach,\u201d Anna Kowalik-Mizgalska, President of the Orange Foundation, said.<\/p>

The youngest users, particularly Generation Z, spend the most time online, averaging nearly four hours daily. Over 70 percent of this time is dedicated to mobile apps.<\/p>

A recent survey by ChronPESEL.pl and the National Debt Register (KRD) reveals that 37 percent of Poles have experienced attempts to steal their data via phone. In comparison, 47 percent of this group encountered such attempts through email.<\/p>

The study highlights that 37 percent of respondents experienced data theft or attempted theft via phone calls, 47 percent via email, and 40 percent through SMS. Additionally, 34 percent reported encountering such threats on fake websites or through messages sent via messaging apps.<\/p>

Young adults aged 18\u201324 appear particularly vulnerable. Among this age group, 54 percent faced data theft attempts via SMS, 48 percent via email, and 27 percent during phone calls.<\/p>

The findings emphasize the growing need for awareness and vigilance against increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts.<\/p>

The EU's free trade agreement with Mercosur, encompassing Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, has raised concerns among European farmers, including in Poland.<\/p>

While the deal could open markets for EU processed food exporters, it poses challenges for local producers of poultry, beef, sugar, and cheese due to increased competition from South America. The influx of lower-cost imports may pressure prices and market shares.<\/p>

Poland and France oppose the deal, citing risks to domestic agriculture, and are working to build a coalition to block its approval. Economists suggest renegotiation may address these issues.<\/p>

President Andrzej Duda has signed an amendment to the Waste Act, increasing funding for the Database on Products, Packaging, and Waste Management (BDO) for 2025-2027. The amendment allocates 64.35 percent of registration and annual fees collected by provincial offices to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFO\u015aiGW) to support BDO operations. It also raises the maximum expenditure limits from NFO\u015aiGW for BDO-related purposes during this period.<\/p>

Additionally, the amendment reduces the retention period for personal data in BDO from 100 years to 10 years, deemed sufficient for verification by control authorities. Access to BDO has been extended to the National Revenue Administration to enhance oversight and detection of fiscal offenses related to waste management and to the Institute of Environmental Protection for tasks related to BDO development.<\/p>

The law is set to take effect on January 1, 2025, with certain provisions becoming effective the day after its official publication.<\/p>
