From the very beginning of the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers has emphasised the need to rapidly launch a programme to secure the liquidity of Polish companies. A significant number of entities has the ability to operate for a certain time without profits, however, deepened liquidity problems may lead to a real wave of bankruptcies. This would translate into an economic calamity, the loss of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of jobs, and the years of unprecedented economic growth and development in Poland going to waste. We are glad that an effort was undertaken to introduce a quick and simple tool to support the financial liquidity of companies.

The government must immediately expand the Anti-Crisis Shield with a consistent return to work programme. Without this, Poland will not only waste the money allocated for financial support, but also the achievements of a whole generation of Poles.

The Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers calls for a serious consideration of the threats the Poland is presently facing. This extraordinary situation requires the Government and Parliament to re-examine the solutions proposed in the project known as “The Anti-Crisis Shield”.
