Kondycja i przyszłość polskiej gospodarki – rok 2011 i elementy prognozy na lata 2012–2013

The author presents the condition of the Polish economy in 2011, and some forecasts as for its development in the next two years. His analysis is based on macroeconomic results presented by Polish bodies and institutions (the National Bank of Poland (NBP), the Central Statistical Office (GUS), Polish ministries and government agencies) and by international ones (the European Commission, Eurostat), in relation to the indicators of other European Union member states. The presentation comprises, among many, the volume of the achieved and forecast economic growth, GDP, changes in the consumption and investment demands, trends in the real economy, transformations in foreign trade, inflation processes, and the situation on the labour market. The author simultaneously takes into account international conditions, especially those that stem from the crisis in the Eurozone.
