A Real Improvement in the Situation of Polish Families

Poles are saying goodbye to PiS-era high prices. In September, inflation fell to just under 3%. These are not just abstract figures – they are proof of the effectiveness of the government’s economic policy and of the improved situation of Polish families.

“We have the situation under control and inflation below 3%. Not as a one-off, but once again. This is a very clear signal that we can responsibly say – this is the end of high prices,” argued Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

In doing so, the government is delivering on the promise it made to millions of Polish women and men.

“These three components – low inflation, rising wages and higher social benefits – have contributed to a record increase in disposable income. This is a reason for satisfaction, although we will want more and will keep working on it,” said the Prime Minister.

Poles can finally feel an improvement in their household budgets.

Taxing Banks – Supporting the Budget Without Burdening Families

Poland must safeguard the security of its citizens, both military and economic. Funds for these purposes are to be provided, among other things, by additional taxation of banks.

“If our state is to be a state that looks after the weaker, guarantees higher wages and requires gigantic investments in the army, then we need more money. (…) It is better to tax banks than Polish families,” explained Donald Tusk.

The new solution is a step that is socially fair and economically necessary, and it will not be linked to tax burdens on Polish families.

The additional CIT in 2026 will amount to 30%, and in subsequent years it will fall to 26% and then 23%.

Support for Swiss Franc Borrowers and Easing the Burden on Courts

The solutions adopted by the government are intended to speed up court proceedings in Swiss franc loan cases and automatically suspend loan repayments once a lawsuit has been filed.

“Work is still underway on resolving the nightmare of Swiss franc borrowers. We have prepared proposals that will simplify and speed up court procedures. We are sure this will bring relief to those who are fighting for a fair resolution of Swiss franc loan cases,” said Prime Minister Tusk.

The aim is to ease the burden on the courts, especially in Warsaw, where most of the so-called Swiss franc cases are brought. Clearing the backlog will radically accelerate court proceedings.

New Ships for Maritime Universities

The government is consistently investing in education and innovation, as exemplified by a multiannual programme worth almost one billion zlotys for the construction of ships for maritime universities. The new vessels for the Maritime University of Technology in Szczecin and the Maritime University in Gdynia will be a huge contribution to the development of Polish science and the maritime economy.

“We will have two new ships for Polish students and researchers. This will increase our research capabilities and bring tangible savings,” said the Prime Minister.

The sailing ships that will replace the worn-out units will be a true source of pride for all Polish women and men, just as the legendary Dar Pomorza, Lwów or Dar Młodzieży once were. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a competition on the X platform to choose a name for the new vessel of the Maritime University in Gdynia.

Polish Soldiers Protect the European Summit

This Wednesday and Thursday, an informal meeting of the European Council and a summit of the European Political Community will be held in Copenhagen. In addition to state representatives, a contingent of Polish soldiers will also travel to Denmark to support the Danes in securing these events.

“At the request of the Danish government, Polish soldiers will co-participate in protecting the summits of European leaders. This shows how highly the Polish Army is valued,” said the Prime Minister.

The involvement of the Polish Armed Forces in securing the summit is linked to the recent drone attacks. This is a clear act of solidarity. Denmark, like Poland and other NATO countries, can count on the support of its allies.
