Economic Growth Over 5 percent

'The economic growth in Q1 this year amounted to about 5.2
% and may remain so throughout the year. However, the progrowth
reforms are threatened by the unstable political situation’
said deputy prime minister and finance minister Zyta Gilowska.
‘We had a very high growth rate of 5.2% in the Q1 of this
year. The economic growth, more importantly, is taking place
in low-inflation conditions’ she added. The study of the current
economic situation carried by NBP [the National Bank of Poland]
shows the GDP growth in 2006 Q2 is forecast to be higher
than in Q1.
