0

Today Poland announced that it will contribute €8 billion to projects benefiting from finance by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), which is at the heart of the €315 billion Investment Plan for Europe. The contribution will come via its National Promotional Bank Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (“BGK”). Poland is the sixth country to contribute to the Plan even before the EFSI has been formally set up, following the lead of Germany, Spain, France, Italy and Luxembourg.

European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen, responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, said: “I am very glad to receive the great news from Finance Minister Mateusz Szczurek in person that Poland will contribute to the Investment Plan, the sixth country to do so. Poland’s BGK already has a vast engagement in cross-EU investment platforms. I am very happy about this very timely announcement.”
