Business practices in Poland to be improved |
| According
to World Economic Freedom Index, Poland was classified on the
56th world row in 2004 for economic freedom, faraway from the
Anglo-Saxon countries and from Northern Europe, and even behind
the other central European countries such as the Czech Republic
or Hungary. This position, relatively stable since years, is characteristic
of a country in which the conditions for the practice of the businesses
are average.
The inefficiency and the blocking of the Polish bureaucratic Administration constitute a big handicap. The country occupied according to the classification of the economic World Forum of 2002 the eighth place in the world (from sixty-five country) for the waste of time related to the bureaucracy. In addition, as in the majority of the PECO, corruption is present in the administrations and on the highest political levels. Privatization and the repurchase of the factory FIAT of automobile factory Bielsko-Biala were carried out without any transparency, letting doubts weighing on the regularity of the operation. 2004 Index of Economic Freedom
