The Government PiS. The function of the Minister of Finance for Matthew Morawieckiego? – Republic

In this situation, the embrace of the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of development Matthew Morawieckiego the functions of the Minister of Finance carries more risk than benefit.

these days we have to learn the idea of Prime Minister Biti sewed on the reconstruction of her office and systemic changes in the government. First and foremost we can talk about a revolutionary approach to the functions of the Minister of Finance. As follows from the media reports, the current Minister Paul Szałamacha has to lose their positions. It is not known who will be after him to take the heritage in this context is mentioned, however, is also Deputy Prime Minister, development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. Without losing existing competencies, should he make the supervision of the Ministry of Finance personally (as a Minister) or through a “trusted” person.

If a good idea is to concentrate in the hands of direct control over such an important and large agencies? Key in this context becomes the answer to the question, why wicepremierowi the desired function of the Minister of Finance? Morawiecki indicates that the Minister Szałamacha blocks the implementation of its plan in favor of responsible development. This block may have, however, a different value.

– due to Friction between the heads of departments are nothing unusual, – says Alexei Wojcik, Professor SGH. – However, in this case can be only the Minister that is difficult to get along with. The purpose may be the desire to get away from strict budget discipline and deprivation of the Minister for Finance the role of a guardian of the discipline. Plan Morawieckiego associated with an increase in the role of the state in the economy, and its implementation will require increased funding from public sources. The purpose of the acquisition through Morawieckiego control over public finances can be – though need not – the weakening of financial discipline. And that the current situation would be very dangerous – warns Wójcik.

of Course, the proposed changes should not mean jump on public money, it can also go for a better coordination of economic departments. But even in this case, “connecting” one person, two completely different ministries, rather, runs with purpose.

– If the main goal in the financial policy of the state, such as deficit reduction should not change, you do not see the point of combining the two agencies, ” said Stanislav Mykola Shaforostov, b. Deputy Minister of Finance. – If that happened, sooner or later, the Minister Morawiecki and so priority needs to deal with finances. Such is the nature of this work, not without reason, as a rule, Ministers of Finance are the three most important people in the government. The strategic programme would inevitably descend to the second plan, – stressed Mykola Shaforostov.

Deputy Prime Minister can get a great instrument for coordination of economic policies, without taking more teki Minister of Finance, – says Miroslaw Gronicki, b. the Minister of Finance. – Provides that capability, for example, szefowanie Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers. In General, a greater impact on the real economy, that probably depends more Morawieckiemu, will give the actual capture of the whole economic policy distributed after such departments as energy or marine industry. Not needed for this policy budget, fiscal or debt service, ” he adds.
