In Bydgoszcz, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has participated in a ceremony commemorating the victims of German crimes in the autumn of 1939.

Despite the passage of years since the end of World War II, it is still an open question how wealthy and strong the Polish state and its citizens would be if it had not been for the mass extermination of the population and the war destruction.

Russia’s brutal act of aggression on Ukraine, the increase in the costs of raw materials, and the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively affected the economy of many countries throughout the world. In this difficult period, the government supports the Polish citizens, among others, by lowering taxes or the implementation of the Government Anti-Inflation Shield. It is possible, among others, due to the effective sealing of the taxation system. In spite of the crisis faced by the entire world, the condition of the Polish economy is stable. The Council of Ministers has adopted an outline financial law for 2023. It foresees that in the next year, the revenues in the national budget are going to increase to approximately PLN 604.4 billion. In comparison to 2015, that is an increase of nearly 110%.
