Analysis
At the time of financial crisis 2008 and 2009, Poland was the exception whose economy grew by 1.5 percent during 2009. Moreover, growth rate averaged 3.4 percent per annum the best Europe The main reason was communist rule which led Poland opened its market to International trade and foreign investment and gives easy access to large consumer markets of Western Europe. This was done by keeping public debt in check, not allowing it to expand during the recession A tight monetary squeeze in the early 2000s helps Poland to be safe at the time of crisis. Still Poland faced lots of problem including migrant workers returning western Europe.
Solutions
Poland did the change in order to encourage International business like privatized stateowned enterprises busting GDP in 2009 and 2010 as well passing and Entrepreneurship Law reducing the number of health, labor, an tax controls but the Poland took time to take decision which leads to fall in market after crisis. Extensive regulations that are still in place caused decrease in ranked in the world bank. Poland would change the state owned enterprises to private enterprises thus increase in foreign investment and market share. Poland embrace change but fir shorter period time. They implement the market-based economic rule. Poland was able to keep public debt but after crisis they didn’t go well because of short term strategy and boundaries for international business. Poland should keep pace along with technological change occurring globally. To be competitive, the country must incorporate technology into its approaches for sustainable and inclusive growth. Both will require more and better investments in innovation and people.

There are some more problems facing by Poland rather than case:An Aging Society Poland’s population is aging more rapidly than that of any other European country. Thirty-five percent of the population will be over 65 by 2030, according to the World Bank. This situation is expected to the World Bank. The situation is expected to further tighten the Labor force and demographic shift will create labor force constraints and strain the health care and pension systems. Increasing inequality As overall income levels continue to mimic those if the European Union (EU), Poland need to address the risk of increasing inequality. The disparities between regions are particularly significant. Sustainable Management of Natural Resources Poland’s growth will need resources, and the sustainable management of natural resources, including water and air quality management, is critical for Poland’s continued economic stability. Poland has 33of the 50 most polluted cities in Europe, and the country must invest in transitioning to a low emissions economy for the future.
