Over one-third (34%) of enterprises surveyed by employers' organisation PKPP Lewiatan plan to increase their investments this year, while merely 7% of them declare they would cut down on their investments. However, the research's author Malgorzata Starczewska-Krzysztoszek said, as quoted by the "Rzeczpospolita" daily, that companies were more cautious in their investment plans now.


At the same time, she noted that the bigger the firm, the more often it pondered on increasing its investments scale. 

The daily said that 20 biggest investment projects would be worth of PLN 75bn (EUR 19.4bn) in the next few years. Still, economists expect public resources-financed investments, especially those infrastructure-related, to continue to dominate the investment outlook. 

In the build up to the Euro 2012 football championships, Poland needs to build or modernise a number of stadiums, airports and hotels. Also, the government plans a total of PLN 121bn (EUR 31.3bn) of road investments by 2012 and PLN over PLN 30bn (EUR 7.7bn) of road investments by 2015.
