Europe is facing major economic and climate challenges today – the green energy revolution and work toward commodity independence await us. These challenges are intertwined, as perfectly demonstrated by the example of Central and Eastern European countries, including Poland. The Russian aggression against Ukraine has shed a new light on the latter challenge.

Poland is by no means impervious to the gas crisis, and will to a certain extent be affected by gas shortages across the continent. Yet despite relics of the past and former interdependencies associated i.a. with its position as a transit country, Poland is much better prepared for the European Union’s fuel-related divorce with Russia than many other states.

The refining sector in Europe has undergone a pivotal change over the last decade: as recently as ten years ago, refineries were considered to be industrial plants demonstrating the strength of an economy. Today, they are often issue assets for their owners.

The fundamental value offered by insurers, i.e. security, is today one of the most important and sought-after. To be able to take advantage of this, we must not only retain our capacity to adapt with lightning-quick speed in the face of conditions dominated by uncertainty, but also build future-proof competitive advantages. This calls for the most serious redefinition of the insurance business seen in years. PZU Group, the largest financial conglomerate in the Central and Eastern Europe with assets nearing 90 billion euro, has the potential, experience and new ideas needed to lead these changes and establish new standards for the insurance of tomorrow.

Recorded at slightly below 10% over recent years, the growth rate of Polish exports topped 20% in 2021. Central Statistics Office data for the first two months of that year suggest that this positive trend has continued.

The short- and medium-term condition of our defence industry will improve in the wake of the war in Ukraine, with a gush of procurement orders from the Ministry of National Defence. Trouble may be brewing long-term, as there is a shortage of new designs.
