Poland has become a leader among Eastern European countries in attracting foreign direct investments in the economy. Foreign capital is interested in stable economic growth and ease of doing business.
⠀
Stable economic growth
Polish economy is one of the fastest growing among European countries. It is almost the only country on the continent that has successfully resisted the global economic crisis. The state budget of Poland is in much better condition than the budgets of other EU States.
⠀
Large sales market
Poland's domestic market is one of the largest in Europe, with almost 40 million people living in the country. In terms of population this state ranks sixth in the EU and the first in Eastern Europe.
⠀
A skilled and competitive workforce
According to the Organization for economic cooperation and development (OECD), there are more than 430 higher education institutions in Poland, where about 1.4 million students study, including more than 60 thousand foreigners from about 150 countries.
⠀
Grants from the European Union
From 2014 to 2020, Poland has received a total of more than 120 billion euros from Brussels in the form of EU subsidies: over 82 billion euros will be transferred under the so-called cohesion policy, and another 32 billion will come from the agricultural policy. In 2007-2013, the country has already received more than 100 billion euros from the EU, including 68 billion in the framework of the cohesion policy.
⠀
Well-developed infrastructure
Among the significant advantages of Poland, we can highlight the constantly developing infrastructure: roads and Railways, air and sea transport, a wide network of cargo warehouses and terminals. Several busy international transport routes with a total length of 5 thousand km pass through Poland (Berlin-Lviv, Berlin-Moscow, Bialystok-Prague, Gdansk — Cieszyn, Gdansk — Lviv).
