Why you can not meet all requests frankowiczów? UOKiK Marek Niechciał responding – Dziennik.pl

OCCP issued an important opinion on the frankowiczów litigants with mBank in which it is written that some of the provisions in the agreements invalidate the entire foreign currency loans. How it changes the situation frankowiczów?

Significant view always refers to a specific case. It can not be applied to the total frankowiczów. And this view applies in interest rates, or the cost, not the essence of loans frankowych.

Do you, then, will be another important views of the OCCP on this issue?

are you sure – are also related to the financial market. Currently, we have seven requests, and each citizen on the stage of the judicial process can come to us for such an important notion to pay. When we believe has been infringed public interest, then we will issue a view on the matter.

Many believe that this view is too soft. UOKiK says only that the provisions of the “cause” and not “cause” invalid. A nod to the banks?

No. We were limited by the fact that customers mBank went to court with the amount of the installments. It was a long time ago, because in 2010. Then the problem themselves francs so not troubled, and the litigation concerned the de facto something else. You could say that customers challenged only broken lights, while in the car does not work the whole engine. We therefore refer only to the lights. However, this can cause the whole car is not suitable for use.

And you may find that this is so?

It’s hard to say. Details of the agreements can result in significant differences. A good example are negative LIBOR-y. If the bank identified in the agreement that interest rates can not be negative, the OCCP can not relate to it and take action.

What will be the overall strategy of the OCCP on francs?

remember that the office sometimes has its hands tied, eg. the period of limitation. The host of the subject francs remains president. Of course, all the state functions as a single organism, but a key role for the Committee of the Financial Stability and solutions related to capital requirements. The risk of foreign currency loans is determined by the higher capital requirements, even if the statistics indicate that the repayment of foreign currency loans is better than the zloty.

What is the biggest challenge?

Full implementation of the demands frankowiczów could lead to a significant deterioration in the banks, and thus other customers might feel threatened. We can not risk solvency. On the other hand, personally I fear that rates may increase again. It is incumbent on the economy.

However, if excessive consumer protection frankowych not mean discrimination against borrowers zloty?

We must find in particular, the existing situation. I use an example. Roofs in the villages largely covered with asbestos. When it was learned about the dangers of this material, it was necessary to remedy this. Of course, we now know that you can use roof tiles, but this is not the time to worry about it. You might as well say that 10 years ago one could prohibit such loans, especially since we knew about the experiences of the world. But we have a different reality. We are at the stage of purification of Polish asbestos cement.

What about the matter of investment policies?

We are on track to agreement. There are three problems. First: people wanted to buy something else, ie. misselling. The second is the cost of withdrawal. Third: the value of units. Misselling raises the biggest opposition because it is completely outside morality – eg. 70-year-old instead of a six-month deposits getting the product for 25 years. Withdrawal should also be cheaper because it happened that costs reached several tens of percent of the funds paid. We were able to reduce these charges. We want to extend to the entire portfolio, and we are still in the course of working meetings with the Polish Chamber of Insurance. Ahead of us a lot to develop, which will require well as talks with individual insurers. We hope that the preliminary results of the negotiations will be announced in September. By the end of the year I would like to complete the process.

How are talks with insurers?

Negotiations must take place at co-supervision. Changing the rules means that the capital requirements of insurers may change. We must therefore be careful not to company fell into trouble. We negotiate it or expand its activities on the current portfolio, or in isolated cases purchased insurance policies.

How to increase consumer awareness?

educate. We do social campaigns. We can see that the level of consciousness rises, also as a result of negative experiences – does not have 5.5 million investment policies, as is commonly administered in the media, but less than 3 million. Besides, this is not the first problem polisolokatowy. At the beginning of the XXI century., As now, many people gave up and were disappointed relationship of the funds paid to the assets received. Number of resignation was higher than it is now, we can see the effects of education. OCCP finances are limited, but we are doing everything in our power.

Until the end of September, customers of the largest Polish bank must close positions. – Puls Biznesu

From 31 August 2016. You can not open an account at a brokerage house foreksowego PKO Polish Bank. Less than two years has survived so foreksowa offer the largest Polish bank. Agreement existing customers have already spoken. Their accounts will be closed until the end of September. In March of 2015. Adventure foreksem decided to end another bank brokerage house – ING Securities. His offer lasted only a year. Both banks opened their platform foreksowe wave to discourage the Polish stock market and increased interest in earning a foreksie.

“The decision to close the platform was taken as a result of the strategic review of the business lines of the bank. Analyses of this type of bank carried out regularly. Thanks to them constantly monitors the effectiveness of its major business areas. Conducted analytical work has shown that the brokerage house PKO BP is indicated concentration of activity in the area of ​​standardized exchange market and the development of this area of ​​services also through the use of their competitive advantages in terms of quality customer service and a wide range of services, “- says the position of PKO BP.

– perhaps someone also came to the conclusion that forex does not fit into the line of the bank. PKO BP is heavily dependent on the state treasury, it can be presented as a pattern of attitudes – this is a serious bank that is not playing forex; come this way. Financial Supervisory Commission paves the trail, and after the change of chairman of the fall can further tighten the services foreksowym – speculates representative of one of banks offering services foreksowe.

To be precise, but you must remember that under the leadership of Andrzej Jakubiak KNF regularly tried to discourage foreksu. Some time ago introduced the limitation of leverage. It is not only supervision in Europe, who decided to hit the business foreksowy. The ban on advertising of this type of activity is discussed in France and Belgium banned in August 2016. Opening accounts to individual customers.

– the Belgian market is specific. Local brokers simply do not have, and restrictions associated with the commencement of operations were such that, in accordance with the procedure decided on a very few foreign companies. The big problem was the violent and even fraudulent advertising companies in tax havens, including Cyprus. This phenomenon, which also occurs in us. In Belgium, it was at the same time not even about forex as such, what about selling to consumers binary options, or something with us at all there is – says a person in the industry.

Regardless of the actions of supervisors, it seems that more and more potential players forex recognizes that support foreksu on high leverage makes it just as easy for gains and losses. The latter may in practice be unlimited and discourage the activity in this market. You can see it anyway after the results of X-Trade Brokers (XTB), a pioneer foreksu in Poland, which in May 2016. Made its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. In countries in which it operates have at the end of June 139.2 thousand. accounts. Active, however, was only 12 percent. Jakub Maly, CEO of XTB admits, moreover, that the British referendum and developments in Turkey mean that customers behave differently than before. They have a greater aversion to risk, including smaller transactions likely to take the strategy of “buy and hold” or “sell” and not speculate short term. This all may affect the profitability of brokers and decisions about closing business entities that do not have a sufficiently large number of clients.

In the evening, Polsat News initiative addressed the head of the standing committee of the Council of Ministers Henryk Kowalczyk. He said that the government was looking at her “with interest, like any citizens’ initiative”. “We declare that for sure, as over every citizens’ initiative we bow to (over) and will not be rejected in the first reading,” – he said.

“This is the postulate that meets women working in supermarkets” – also he stressed the head of the standing committee. In his opinion, people “might be interested in other forms of spending free time” on Sunday, than shopping.

According to Kowalczyk ‘experience showed “that even after the closure of shops on Sundays” must not fall sale “. The minister referred to the data, that if in one year, banned trade Epiphany fell on a Sunday, “is a sale on Friday and Saturday before the feast was higher than in the previous year, for three days – Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”

Association wants to do it in the same place where Lech Walesa signed the Agreement of August – in the hall of safety Gdansk Shipyard.

To the parliament could take up the proposal, it is necessary 100 thousand. signatures. These were collected a long time ago. The plans could even access to 200 thousand. signatures, but according to our information, it did not work.

 

7 Sundays of the year with

 

According to the civil project, on Sunday could be open petrol stations, florists, bakeries and small local shops, provided that the counter status of their owner.


 

The project also envisages inter alia, the establishment of seven centers Sundays throughout the year, it would be the Sundays preceding Christmas and Easter, as well as periods in which sales are organized.


 

Expert: ban on Sunday trading introduced gradually

 

Civic bill restricting trade on Sunday civilized labor market, but it also has numerous weaknesses, and their introduction could adversely affect the economy, estimates Dr. Bartholomew Biga of the Center for the Club of the Jagiellonian. Progressivity proposes the introduction of free Sundays.

– This idea is supported by many groups, including the Church and the government. The implementation of some provisions of the Act as proposed by the initiators – “Solidarity” – can, however, have a number of negative consequences. In addition, Stanisław Szwed, Deputy Minister of family, work and social policy, warns that the introduction of restrictions from the beginning of 2017 years may be impossible “, – says Biga in the commentary. He added that the proposed project has” numerous weaknesses, what awareness have even themselves by its creators “.

 

“The Phantom of downsizing”

According to the expert, can easily identify a number of arguments that from a social point of view is supported by limitation of trading on Sunday. As pointed out, this would probably to “civilize labor market and favor the building of social cohesion”.


 

– the crowning argument of opponents to restrict trade on Sundays is, however, the specter of downsizing. It must be emphasized that in spite of the black scenarios scale layoffs would be significantly lower than 1/7 of total employment, since it would increase the demand for labor in the remaining days of the week. A larger number of buyers from Monday to Saturday, however, does not have saved the industry prior to the reduction in employment of up to 100 thousand people. Although this figure is only approx. 2.5 per cent. trade workers, the scale of the exemptions would be significant. One must remember that in the economy as a whole this industry generates every fourth job – says Biga.

He added that this negative effect may be minimized if the distribution changes over time.


 

– The “Solidarity” envisages the introduction of restrictions on almost all the Sundays of the year (…). The sudden appearance of forty a few extra days with limited trade would, however, for the commercial sector shock. For this reason, a better solution would be to gradually increase the number of “free Sundays”. For example, in the first year of one month, after two years, to cover all trade restriction in the perspective of three years – suggests the expert. According to the project during the year will be the so-called seven. Sunday trading. Stores would be open, inter alia Sundays preceding Christmas and Easter, as well as periods in which sales are organized. The expert stresses that it is also worth considering the initial limitation of working hours on Sundays (eg. 8.00-16.00), and the later introduction of far-reaching prohibitions.

In addition, almost 64 per cent. these vehicles have more than 10 years, while a year ago the figure was 55 percent. – Says the article. Asked by the newspaper about the reason for the large differences in the Ministry of Finance pointed out that the data on the number of cars imported into the Polish are not identical with the data of their registrations. – The reasons may be very different, and the domestic car market is not subject to inspection by the Customs Service – said the press office of the Ministry of Finance. – However, such large discrepancies between government statistics may suggest financial scams, and this should be of interest to the taxman – sums up the “Gazeta Wyborcza”.

Changes on the road: Driving on the slider will be mandatory – GazetaPrawna.pl

Horse on the slider is one of the best ways to reduce traffic jams in places where there are pinch points. Normally, approaching the stenosis, the drivers try as soon as possible, take the lane in which it is possible to continue driving. As a result, a large part of the belt which tapers (usually the left) is empty, which increases the blockage. On the other hand, drivers who are going to the very end, they reluctantly admitted by those who descended on him before.

Horse zip lies in the fact that the cars are going in parallel until an obstacle, and finally the driver driving in the right lane lets one car from the next. Boards informing about driving on the slider can be used today (eg. In the case of the introduction of temporary traffic organization in connection with the renovation) as a complement to the sign A-30, or other hazards. Except that shown on the sign on the driving slider is not a requirement for managers, but only a suggestion.

Green light for slide …

Now it has to change. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Construction has already begun work on the large amendment to the Regulation on Road Signs and Signals (Journal of Laws of 2002 no. 170, item. 1393, as amended.), As well as the so-called. red book, which is the Annex to the Regulation on detailed technical conditions for traffic signs and signals. One of the changes is to be just the introduction of a new character that will oblige the drivers to drive on the slider.

– A driver who fails to comply with driving behavior resulting from the character commits in this situation offense Article. 92 paragraph. 1 of the Code offenses – says Adam Jasinski, a lawyer specializing in traffic law.

It is of little significance that, in accordance with art. 22 paragraph. 4 of the Act – Road Traffic Law driver, changing the occupied lane, is obliged to give way to the vehicle rider to the lane, he intends to enter, and vehicle wjeżdżającemu this lane on the right.

– Under Article. 5 of the Act directing must first adhere to road signs, even if the provisions of the Act due to different behavior – indicates lawyer.

This means that if at narrowing bearing the sign of driving the slider reaches the bumps should be the one who went contrary to the order.

– for a long time we teach students to commuted the end of the runway, which ends, as well as to in accordance with the method of driving the slider culturally Recessed drivers with such a belt. Even when there is no mark. Such cooperation driver works perfectly, especially as stenosis occur not only due to renovations, but eg. Breakage – says Roman Stencel, president of the Polish Chamber of Commerce Training Centres drivers. – After entering a character, so that you will be able to enforce such a way that driving is a chance to accept it also among the drivers who have long been driving – he added.

… yellow for sekundników

however, one should mention the spoon of tar in this barrel of honey. And this is the timing of the changes. A new character to be introduced in the framework of the recasting of the regulation of signs and red book. And this requires a lot of work and long-term public consultation. – For now underway interministerial consultations. According to the plans of the Regulation is to be ready in the fourth quarter of 2018. – Said Jakub Dabrowski from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Construction.

It is possible that in the context of the amendment could be introduced regulations governing the use of red light sekundników, showing the time remaining to change the lights.

Although this type of device is used already in several cities (eg. Wrocław and Kraków), is, according to the MIB current law does not allow them to use. Moreover, in April resort he was of the opinion that the use of sekundników not only improves security, but may even worsen them. These findings came from a survey conducted in 2014. Grudziadz, which increased the number of cars entering at high speed at the intersection on a red light.

However, in other cities, where used second hand, the experience was positive.

– Opinions on sekundników are different. The vast majority of instructors, driving schools, however, is yes. This solution liquefies movement and is very useful especially for people who are just learning to ride. With information on how much light changes, they can prepare to move off without hampering with this movement – suggests Roman Stencel.

Therefore resort still examine the idea of ​​sekundników.

– We will surrender the idea under consultation – we hear in the ministry.

Apple punished for a quarter of a century in a tax paradise – Republic

record, reaching 13 billion euro penalty for Apple is a signal for European governments, but also for enjoying their generosity multinationals. Margrethe Vestager rejects translations Apple, he did everything according to the law.

– If for years paid taxes at an effective rate of 0.05 per cent., Is przyjrzałabym exactly your bills – said Dane . But also he rejected allegations that the punishment for the Apple is excessive and results from the reluctance of Brussels to American companies. – I had no options to choose from. The amount of unpaid taxes was calculated at 13 billion euros – explained the Commissioner. The decision of going to appeal to both the Government of Ireland, and Apple.



25 years of freedom from the Inland Revenue

Since 1991, Apple practically does not pay taxes on products sold in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India. All the gains went to the registered in the Irish Cork company Apple Sales International, which paid an effective tax of 0.05 per cent. The Irish government decided to relief, because he wanted it to be in Ireland was the main headquarters of the foreign company. Now Apple will have to pay applicable taxes calculated at the applicable rates in this country of 12.5 percent.

Similar investigations on tax settlements Brussels started against the Luxembourg-based European companies Amazon and McDonald’s. It also analyzes other matters and may announce the start of the subsequent investigation. Has issued a decision on the applicable Belgian scheme of tax for corporations and government in Brussels will have to recover from the company at least 700 million euros.



Situation ideal

The purpose of the Commission is to create a situation that companies pay taxes where you make a profit. But Vestager admits that the same decisions of illegal aid is not impossible to achieve, hence the European Commission proposes new rules for taxation of all international companies and wants G20 cooperation in this field.

In the case of Apple, the Commission shall decide only that the decision of the Irish government, constituted illegal state aid under EU law. Does not judge but the fact that Apple did right by transferring profits from Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India to Ireland. – Other countries may now apply for their due taxes, if they have lost to launder money used by Ireland – the Commissioner said.

Brussels keen to show that it defends the European taxpayer and thus on the viewfinder included International corporations whose practices over the years accepted. It so happened that many of them are American.

The decision of Brussels have a negative impact on relations with the United States. Already a few months ago committees. Taxes in the US Congress and Senate dealt with the investigation of the Commission and expressed a negative opinion on the subject.



Chilled relations

Peter Chase, were American diplomat, expert think tank GMF, believes that the decision of Brussels is unnecessary. According to him, it will worsen relations between the EU and the US and will affect US investments in Europe.

– But Apple benefited from this tax scheme for more than two decades. Why suddenly now, the Commission states that it is illegal? And why make him pay a huge amount of 13 billion euros of arrears, rather than simply to appeal to Ireland to stop the use of such solutions in the future – says American expert, “Rzeczpospolita”. According to him, the decision is unfortunate, because just the Obama administration was ready to help Europe forum OECD to combat the practice of tax evasion by multinational corporations. it also draws attention to concerns about the decision.

– the value of Apple products is created in the US, but not in Ireland. iPhone price reflects the value of intellectual property rather than a piece of plastic that I hold in my hand – he argues. According to him, such a line of argument will probably be adopted in appeals against decisions.

review

Dariusz Rosati, member of the European Parliament’s committee. tax fraud

European countries can compete and attract foreign companies honest methods using different tax rates, offering a variety of business environment, the quality of infrastructure. Alternatively, in the framework of joint tax bases to move different elements, so as to reduce the taxes paid in one country for the benefit of another. But they are not honest individual tax decisions that give individual businesses an advantage over others. Such decisions should at least be notified to the European Commission as state aid. I do not believe that the EC decisions were deliberately aimed at American companies. Europe depends on investments from the US.

Ryanair can borrow Modlinowi for expansion – Pasazer.com

Modlin needs a larger terminal before 2019. We are ready to borrow money for expansion – said in an interview with Pasazer.com Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair. A larger terminal will, however, at the earliest in three years.


 

Airport wasting his potential. It seems to me that it is mainly a question of funding and dogadania to shareholders. We talk to them and say: “build a this airport.” If you need support, we are ready to borrow money for expansion Modlinowi – said in an interview with Pasazer.com Michael O’Leary , CEO of Ryanair.
Modlin is now approaching capacity limits. Currently, the capacity of the terminal is approx. 3 million passengers a year. Modlin estimates that come close to this level already this year – in 2015. Handled 2.59 million passengers. The expansion plans in detail spoke in an interview with Peter Pasazer.com Okienczyc, then president of airports (and now vice-president), in the middle of last year.
We’ll start with the expansion of the terminal portion of the zoom, the exhaust of the four segments. This will achieve throughput of 5 million passengers per year – announced in February this year. Marcin Daniil , vice president of Modlin airport.

However, the extended terminal will handle first passengers will most likely only in 2019. Such a schedule presented at a press conference Leszek Chorzewski, p.o. President and Vice President. sales and marketing of the airport in Modlin. The airport already has a ready architectural concept, the final design will be announced in the autumn. The tender for the construction of the terminal can move at the beginning of next year. Putting investments before 2019. Will be very difficult.

O’Leary believes, however, that this should happen before. Ryanair is the only airline at the airport in Modlin and has ambitious plans for growth at that airport. Now they can not be implemented because already the airport is often overcrowded, and queues for security checks – very long.

President carrier stressed that Modlin Ryanair remains the main airport in Poland, and the line has no plans of moving or operating international routes from the Chopin Airport. This year, the main Warsaw airport will be operated only two domestic routes as of March comes the third – to Szczecin.

So O’Leary in their own interests is ready to lend Modlinowi measures for the expansion of the terminal – but stresses that no way, eg. on the acquisition of shares in the airport in return for the investment.

– P roblemem is complicated shareholding structure, with shares split one-third between PPL [manager Chopin Airport - ed.], The Military Property Agency and local government . And I’m not sure if PPL actually wants to expand Modlin – said O’Leary.

O’Leary added that in his opinion Modlin airport can be as large as Charleroi, serving the Brussels agglomeration. Last year, the Belgian airport handled nearly 7 million passengers, mainly using the services of Ryanair.

The head of Ryanair has once again criticized the idea of ​​creating a Central Airport – considered it too expensive, complicated and unnecessary. O’Leary is an advocate of competition between airports, so that flights can be cheaper. He did not comment on whether it Modlin should be expanded and become central port. However, he drew attention to the need to preserve the independence of management companies Modlin and the Chopin Airport.

We love Modlin and we know that it will grow – unless it is taken over by the PPL. In my opinion Poland should sell shares in both Modlin and the Chopin Airport to private investors, independent of each other. It may be a minority stake, but this will boost capital investment and cutting costs – said O’Leary.

Apple promises to appeal against the sanctions on EU tax – Onet.pl

Also, the Irish government denied justifying this decision thesis that gave Apple the tax advantages against the Union rules on state aid.

He criticized, however, that the European Commission has set up here over the Irish tax legislation and international tax system. Proceedings Brussels seriously hurt investment and job creation in Europe – warned Apple.

In the opinion of the European Commission, the Irish authorities Apple must enforce the return of the value received in the years 2003-2014 tax credits with interest. “The Commission has come in the course of its analysis to conclude that Ireland provided Apple unacceptable tax advantages, so Apple for many years have to pay taxes much lower than other businesses,” – said on Tuesday in Brussels, the European Commissioner for competition Margrethe Vestager.

According to the EC, adopted in Ireland made solutions, the effective rate paid by the company owned by a commercial company Apple Sales International tax profit decreased from 1 percent. in 2003 to 0.005 per cent. in 2014.

That + headquarters + was not located in any country, had no employees or offices. Its activities consisted only occasional meetings of the board. only a small part of the revenue of the company was assigned the Irish branch and subject to tax in Ireland. the remaining bulk of the revenue was attributed + HQ + and remained tax-free “- indicates the EC Communication.

adds that the same system was also used in the case of Apple Operations Europe, responsible for the production of some lines of computers.

through established in 1980 Irish subsidiaries Apple realizes a significant part of its international commercial activities. These companies contribute to the costs of research and development, receiving in return intellectual property rights and share in the profits.

the Irish government denied posed to him by the EC allegations, pointing out that” Ireland has not granted any privileges Apple tax. ” The company paid all applicable taxes and has not received any illegal aid.

The government will examine in detail the Commission’s decisions today, to prepare its legal challenge. “It is not appropriate that the EU rules on state aid have been applied in such a way unparalleled,” – says the government’s message, emphasizing that tax issues are a matter for individual Member States.

According to the EC Ireland must now recover from the Apple unpaid taxes for the period of 2003-2014 the total amount to 13 billion euros plus interest. Group cash reserves currently amount to about 230 billion dollars – of which more than 90 percent. It is held outside the US, in large part as in Ireland. EC Decision not had on investors much of an impression, the share price of Apple fell SIA traded pozaparkietowym only 1.8 percent.

KE investigation is directed only against Ireland, but any payment will be enforced from Apple. As noted Vestager, the governments of other EU member states will be allowed after analyzing the decision to apply to the company to pay taxes, if they consider them to be due. Per Ireland then the amount would have been reduced.

GDP growth for the second quarter. Gives little chance of over 3.5% in the whole year, according to analysts – Money.pl

The data on growth for the second quarter of 2016. Showed that the economy is growing more slowly than recently expected. Additionally, surprising economists worried about the high drop in investment. According to analysts, there is little chance that the full-year result will approach assumed by the government in GDP growth at 3.6%.

According to them, the main driver of the economy may remain domestic demand.

According to preliminary data of the Central Statistical Office (GUS), GDP (seasonally unadjusted) accelerated to 3.1% y / y in the second quarter. 2016. (compared to 3% y / y in the previous quarter), while domestic demand recorded an increase of 2.4% (against 4.1% in the first quarter. 2016.). In mid-August, the Central Statistical Office said in a quick estimate that GDP grew by 3.1% y / y in the second quarter. This year.

Most analysts believe that economic growth in the whole 2016 years will be below the level of 3.5% and part – that reaches the ceiling. Some point out that the GDP figures for the second quarter. Can be analyzed in detail by the MPC, while the Council may express concern mainly deep (and second in a row) decrease in investments in the economy

Below are the most interesting comments of analysts:

“in the second half of the year economic growth Polish will continue to build on domestic demand, in particular household consumption” – chief economist at Postbank Monika Kurtek.

“in our view, the structure of GDP growth in the second quarter. should prompt the government to concrete action significantly reducing the public finance deficit next year. otherwise, the uncertainty of investment firms can only deepen, “- chief economist Plus Bank Wiktor Wojciechowski.

” stronger acceleration of public investment we expect only in 2017. when will launch large-scale investment programs co-financed from EU funds in the new EU financial perspective. If this assumption materialize, also in 2017. It will be possible to maintain a stronger GDP growth around the level of 3.5 y / y, although the impact impulse consumer will no longer be additionally raise GDP growth “- analysts BOS Bank.

“We expect that in the third quarter, GDP growth will accelerate to 3.5 percent. yoy. You can not see yet the need to act for the MPC, in particular lower interest to improve the investment – difficult to expect a reaction of public investment at lower rates “- chief economist at Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego Tomasz Kaczor.

Below are the most interesting speeches of economists in extenso

“released today by the Central Statistical Office data confirmed only minimal growth acceleration in the second quarter. Smaller than expected turned out to be the acceleration of household consumption, where the dynamics increased only 3.3% y / y from 3.2% y / y in the first quarter. 500+ Family Program and the improving situation on the labor market – as shown by the CSO – in the second quarter did not translate into more significant effect on the growth rate of household spending. Probably the effect will be more pronounced in the coming quarters. At the other extreme are still investing. The decline in the second quarter deepened dramatically (to almost 5% y / y), while it was expected narrowing of decline in the first quarter (at -1.8% y / y). Thus, the contribution of this category to GDP growth was the second consecutive quarter negative. The situation was saved ,, “the contribution of net exports to GDP growth, which in the period April – June was positive compared with a negative value in the first quarter. If the contribution of net exports, eg. Zero, GDP growth would be at 2.3% y / y. In the second half of Polish economic growth will continue to build on domestic demand, in particular household consumption. While in the second quarter of families with children received a total of nearly 5 billion, in the second half of this year. this amount will be approximately 11-12 billion zł. Very worrying is the situation in terms of investment. their deep decline in the second quarter and data on construction in the first month of the third quarter did not promise in the near future the situation will significantly improve. in the third quarter, probably still will be noted the decline in the fourth quarter output on the plus side is also highly questionable. throughout the year, the investments likely will be in the red. GDP growth in 2016. Will be according to my forecasts, up 3.3%, which is lower than recorded in 2015. Today’s figures will certainly be analyzed in detail by the MPC and I expect that the Council expressed its concern mainly deep (and second consecutive) decline in investment in the economy. At the same time I do not expect that these data led the Council to cut interest rates. There is excluded while easing by the MPC rhetoric “- chief economist at Postbank Monika Kurtek.

” The biggest surprise is clear deepening the pace of decline in gross fixed capital formation, which in the second quarter. Shrunk by as much as 4.9 % y / y compared to decline by 1.8% y / y in the first quarter. this year. For comparison, in 2015. Total investment increased in real terms by 5.8%. While in the first quarter. This year. decline in investment could be – at least partly – explain the high statistical base from the first quarter. 2015., when investments rose by 11.8% y / y, the data for the second quarter. clearly showed that their decline has a deeper character. Surely the greatest impact on the breakdown of total investment is no new public infrastructure investments co-financed from EU funds. Unfortunately, it not without significance is the decline in business investment despite their good financial situation. In the first half. year. investment the largest non-financial corporations decreased in constant prices by 7.1% against the growth of 10.9% in the first half. 2015. As a consolation in the second quarter. This year. the pace of decline was slower than in the first quarter. this year. In addition, in January-July this year. the sold goods of investment increased by 4.8% y / y against their growth by 9.4% y / y in the same period of 2015. In July of this year. (The beginning of the third quarter. This year.) Drop in sales of investment goods (-9.1% y / y) he was one of the largest of the so-called. industrial groupings distinguished by the CSO. Despite the excellent situation on the labor market and start disbursement of family allowances 500 plus real growth rate of private consumption in the second quarter. This year. It amounted to 3.3% y / y vs. 3.2% y / y in the first quarter. In the second quarter. Therefore, there was virtually no significant acceleration of growth in private consumption. In 2015. Private consumption increased by 3.1%, and it should be emphasized that the household did not receive more support from family benefits. Even taking into account that the payment of these benefits came at the end of the second quarter. Could expect stronger growth in private consumption. Despite the continued increase in inventories (in the second quarter. This year. Their contribution to annual GDP growth amounted to 0.5 pts. Per cent. Compared to 1.3 pts. Per cent. In the first quarter. Br.), Domestic demand growth slowed down from 4.1% y / y in the first quarter. this year. to 2.4% y / y in the second quarter. this year. In our opinion, the deepening decline in investment in the second quarter. Not only due to delays in launching infrastructure projects co-financed from EU funds, but also from the increased business uncertainty, which discourages them to increase production capacity. This situation is a serious warning to overly optimistic forecasts of economic activity in the near future, in particular the government forecasts. Many times we mentioned that the economic recovery, which is not accompanied by increased investment activity of enterprises has a fragile base. In our opinion, the causes of insecurity enterprises should be sought both in external factors, such as, among others, the risk of collapse of economic growth in China and the euro zone, but also domestic factors, especially fiscal expansion, which, without restrictions on public spending threatens fiscal crisis. It’s probably among for this reason, companies wanting to pursue current orders decide on hiring new employees, which in case of problems slow down, rather than starting new projects whose profitability is fraught with considerable risk. For now, we maintain our forecast of GDP growth throughout 2016. By 3.2%. However, given the probably worse fiscal indicators in 2016. Than it currently assumes the government, we believe that next year, the excess over the whole public sector limit of 3.0% of GDP begins to border on certainty. In our view, the structure of GDP growth in the second quarter. Should prompt the government to concrete action significantly reducing the public finance deficit next year. Otherwise, the uncertainty of investment firms can only deepen, “- chief economist at Bank Plus Wiktor Wojciechowski.

” Today, for the first time we met growth structure and the two things are striking: large decline in investment (-4.9 percent. yoy) and, consequently, the value added in construction (-9.6 per cent. yoy). At first glance, these are bad prognosis for the economy, but in our opinion, does not spoil the prospects for growth in the coming years. The fall in nominal investment was compared with the second quarter of 2015 of 3.5 billion zł. In the same period, expenditures of two major parts of the public sector decreased by 7 billion zł (the state budget of 3.4 billion zł and local governments 3.6 billion zł). This means that in the rest of the economy, including the private sector, investments increased compared to last year and it’s a decent rate of about 5 percent. yoy. The thesis of undermining the foundations of long-term growth is so far exaggerated. Given that the slowdown in investment in the public sector is associated largely with the cycle of spending of EU funds, so it is temporary, we expect a significant improvement in the coming quarters. If we add to this very dynamic export (growth of 10.9% yoy) and industry, as well as a decent seasonally adjusted GDP growth, the overall image of the second quarter looks much better than the first impression. Slightly below expectations fared private consumption – as yet not an impulse 500+ pierced on its dynamic growth. However, given that the payment of benefits began during the second quarter, expectations were somewhat exaggerated. We expect that the third quarter will bring a significant change here. We expect that in the third quarter, GDP growth will accelerate to 3.5 percent. yoy. You can not see yet the need to act for the MPC, in particular lower interest to improve the investment – difficult to expect a reaction of public investment at lower rates. We expect that the parameters of monetary policy will remain unchanged for several more quarters, “- chief economist at Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego Tomasz Kaczor.

” The dynamics of private consumption (3.3% y / y) was slightly better than the result for the the first quarter (3.2%), and total consumption growth accelerated from 3.4% y / y in the previous quarter to 3.5% y / y in 2Q16. Negative surprise is so deep (-4.9% y / y after -1.8% y / y in the previous quarter) decline in investment, although it remains consistent with recently published data on. Investment medium and large companies (they recorded 7.1 % y / y decline in total investment in the first half of this year, with a decrease in expenditure on buildings and structures by 14.7% y / y in the same period). General uncertainty as global (Brexit, uncertainty concerning. Prospects for the economies of Euroland) and local (on tax policy and regulatory framework of the new government) translate into a deposition by the company’s decision to make new investments – despite the very good financial results, despite the very high in many industries capacity utilization, and despite the tightening labor market situation (rising wage pressures, the increasing difficulty of finding suitable employees). Unfortunately, there is little indication that the corporate sector had clearly accelerate investments in the coming months, which will put an a shadow over the pace of economic growth in the second half of the year. Positive remains strong labor market, translating into strong consumer demand. In this regard can be expected to further accelerate in the second half of the year, mainly due to a clearer disclosure of the effects of the program ,, 500+ Family “, perhaps due even better consumer sentiment, supported by a systematic increase in wages and a growing sense of employment security (as decline in the unemployment rate). Support for the growth is the foreign trade balance: in the second quarter, exports rose by 10.9% y / y, which was a clear acceleration in relation to 6.9% y / y in the first quarter, with a relatively stable import growth (9 , 9% y / y in 2Q16 in relation to 9.3% y / y in 1Q16). This resulted in 0,8pp positive contribution of net exports to GDP relative to -0,9pp contribution in 1Q16. in the first half net export contribution to GDP It was zero. in the second half of the year, the contribution of net exports may prove to be neutral or even slightly positive (relative to previous assumptions about the negative contribution of approximately -0,4pp in the whole year). the data – as consistent with expectations – are neutral for the current situation on the bond market, although in the medium term may prove to be slightly positive, pointing to slightly weaker growth path than previously assumed. As for our forecasts of GDP growth, the revision will be done in the next edition Makrokompasu (Friday MPC), while likely to be revised down forecasts for 2016 from the current 3.5% y / y (probably 0,2-0,3pp) while maintaining forecasts for 2017 to 3.3% “- chief economist at Bank Pekao Marcin Mrowiec.

” economic growth was generated primarily by private consumption (which added 2.0 percentage points to GDP) and net exports (contribution 0.8 pp). The positive surprise was exports, which rose in real terms by as much as 10.9% y / y – the highest in more than five years. Down surprised while the investment, which fell at a pace most of the fourth quarter. 2012 – by almost 5% y / y, below the lowest forecast on the market). Overall, GDP data do not bring much new to assess the economic situation. Private consumption should further accelerate in the second half of the year (an additional increase in income following a full payout for children) investment growth should improve, though it may remain in the red until the end of the year. On the other hand, the positive contribution of net exports can be difficult to maintain because of the likely slowdown in export growth (and perhaps acceleration of imports). In sum, we are not changing our forecast to sustain economic growth close to 3% y / y in the next quarters “- the analysts of BZ WBK.

” While the biggest mistake of our forecast concerned the gross fixed capital formation, is by far the more surprising is lower than expected growth in private consumption. In terms of investment, you can identify the factors that influenced their clear limitation. Weaker investment results companies are probably the effect of: – the reduction of large investment projects in the energy sector, – reduction of growth after a period of high activity in the field of replacement investments in companies l. 2014-2015 – higher uncertainty of business activities due to changes in tax – regulatory (m.in . according to reports NBP. economic situation in enterprises). Very weak data on. Public investment is the result of the completion of the projects co-financed by the EU and the so-called. ,, Old “EU perspective and at the same time the lack of implementation on a larger scale projects co-financed from EU financial perspective for 2014-2020. Given the prospect of speeding up the disbursement of EU funds (public investment), generally stable economic growth prospects and pursued by us only periodic effect increase the uncertainty of business activity, we believe that although the scale of adjustment on the investment side is strong, it also has a temporary nature. it is difficult to indicate whether the deepening decline in investment companies in the second quarter. (compared with the figures for the first quarter.) due to the deepening decline in investment public or private. the data for. investment companies indicate rather the maintenance of weaker data from the first quarter., while available only part of the data dot. public investments (investments LGUs and capital expenditures of the state budget) also suggest a rather maintenance of weak data than their deterioration . So we have to wait for the publication of the full data on. capital expenditure of the public sector. We still believe that in the second half. year investment growth improved (ie. no longer negative) due to a considerable reduction in the statistical reference base for public investment. In 2015. Public spending to accumulate in the first half. year, with significantly weaker results in the second half. year, assuming that there will be a stronger current expenditure cuts should translate into improved growth rate on an annual basis. Of course, for stronger investment growth, which translates into a solid contribution to GDP growth will be necessary to launch projects co-financed from EU funds, which we expect in 2017. In the second quarter. Private consumption growth rebounded only slightly. Although, of course, in this period the impact of run ,, 500+ Family “on household income was still small, the same increase in income from work at such a low inflation translated into a robust increase in real income dynamics, hence the surprise result of the relatively weak private consumption. regardless of the data from the second quarter. quarter maintain expectations of very strong growth in private consumption growth from the second half. year. Taking into account the effects of stronger growth in the wage bill and so strong impulse income which is the payment of funds under the program ,, 500+ Family “real dynamics of household income households will increase during this period near the levels recorded in the period of dynamic economic recovery in 2006-2007. For this reason, we expect stronger private consumption accelerated in the second half. 2016. And in the first half. 2017. Sam consumption growth during 2017. Will decrease at a higher base of comparison and the expected increase in inflation declining real income growth of households domowych.Przy weaker data on. Domestic demand (investment and private consumption) in the second quarter. Was relatively weaker increase in demand for imported goods. At the same time in the second quarter. Clearly on the plus side he surprised the growth of exports. Given the slight slowdown in GDP growth in the euro area in the second quarter. And a further deterioration of data from the Chinese economy does not expect to maintain such good results in exports in the second half. year, but figures for the first half. he showed a clearly favorable trends in foreign demand. We expect that the slowdown in export growth and an acceleration of growth in domestic demand (consumption and recovery in stabilizing the data on. Investment) will translate into a significant drop in the contribution of net exports to GDP growth. Considering the above, we expect GDP growth in the second quarter. Towards 3.5% y / y, once strongly accelerate private consumption, and the statistical base effects will not be as gravitate annual investment growth. Stronger acceleration of public investment, we expect only in 2017. When will launch large-scale investment programs co-financed from EU funds in the new EU financial perspective. If this assumption materialize, also in 2017. It will be possible to maintain a stronger GDP growth around the level of 3.5 y / y, although the impact impulse consumer will no longer raise additional GDP growth. Of course, these projections are based on the assumption of a relatively stable situation in the external environment of the Polish economy, the scale slight slowdown in GDP growth in the euro zone in 2017., Avoiding the scenario of a stronger slowdown of China’s economy. Indeed, we believe that weaker business sentiment (and thereby reducing the investment) are not a reaction to the downturn stronger, but the effect of factors periodically. Although the results of dot. Investment dynamics may look alarming, we believe (based on the above arguments), I still do not consider them a lasting effect. For this reason, we do not expect that because of this MPC decided to change the current monetary policy stance (ie. A long period of low interest rates), especially given the clearly favorable situation on the domestic labor market and very good prospects for private consumption. Even if the data were published for the Council disturbing, probably the majority of MPC members will want to read the data dot. Activity of the national economy in the third quarter. To verify the thesis of a strong pro-growth effect of higher income households. Still because the good data on. Exports and consumption is difficult to conclude that the limitation of business investment is cyclical “- analysts BOS Bank.
