Defense industry as Poland’s new economic engine | Jan Krzysztof Bielecki

Having joined the EU more than 20 years ago, Poland has benefited greatly from its membership in the bloc: not just thanks to the common market, but also thanks to EU funds. The time will come, however, when Poland will have to become a net contributor to EU’s budget. With that engine helping drive Poland’s development, what can replace it for Warsaw?

“At the same time, you are actually starting a new engine, which is the defense sector. And this is a serious boost for the Polish economy, because a lot of local factories will receive good orders from the Defense Ministry,” Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, Poland’s former prime minister, told TVP World the sidelines of the European Financial Congress hosted in the Polish seaside resort of Sopot, adding that digital transformation can be yet another such engine.

Join TVP World’s Jakub Kapiszewski and his guest as they explore the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) defense loan’s role in further developing Poland’s economy and the role of public, including EU, funding.
