Stabilność finansów publicznych - gospodarka Polski w warunkach spowolnienia

The balancing of public finance and turning the tendency for public debt growth may be more difficult in Poland than in well-developed European Union member states, although the indicators of public finance sector deficit and public debt in relation to GDP are much higher there than in Poland. Measures taken in this area in Poland are less effective due to the slowdown of the Polish economy growth that – despite the improvement in 2013 – in the coming years will remain lower, in comparison to the GDP level of the period preceding the world financial crisis. It creates unfavourable macroeconomic conditions for the reconstruction of the public finance sector. The article attempts to answer the question whether – in the light of the public debt growth in Poland, whose indicator in 2013, according to Eurostat forecasts, should reach 58.2 per cent of GDP, and with difficulties in the state finance reform process – the stability of this sector is sufficiently ensured.
