The current state of affairs as well as the prospects for development of the Polish energy sector is our biggest problem in the context of the competitiveness of our entire economy. Failure to address issues and lack of strategic thinking dangerously bring us closer to a systemic recession and decline in the standard of living. Poland urgently needs an energy doctrine that takes into account the processes taking place globally, not just politicians’ wishful thinking. This is the conclusion of the latest report by the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers “Assumptions for the Energy Development Strategy in Poland”.
High non-wage labour costs, high taxes, and excessive bureaucratic obligations – according to entrepreneurs these are the biggest barriers to running business in Poland
High non-wage labour costs, high taxes, and excessive bureaucratic obligations – these are the obstacles considered most harmful for running a company in Poland. These are the conclusions from a survey conducted by Maison & Partners on behalf of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers.
Most opponents of the trade ban… in small towns and among people who work… in trade
The Maison&Partners research house carried out yet another wave of the survey commissioned by the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers concerning the attitudes of the Polish people towards the Sunday trade ban. The general conclusions from this wave’s results remain the same as those based on previous editions of the study. Restrictions have the highest number of opponents among residents of small towns, as well as among people working presently or in the past in the trade sector.
Almost 60% of entrepreneurs against the Sunday trade ban – the most opponents among micro-enterprises
Entrepreneurs from the SME sector are strongly divided concerning possible solutions regarding Sunday trade. Every fifth respondent supports the introduction of a total ban, equally many consider the most appropriate solution the introduction of two free Sundays a month for every employee, while almost 40% are in favour of no restrictions at all. Microbusinesses are the strongest supporters of lack of restrictions – this option was chosen by 43% of respondents from this group.
