Polish exports last year rose to a record 179.5 billion euros, up 8.3 percent on 2014, despite a Russian embargo, according to a new report.
In 2015, Polish exports to Germany, its main trading partner, totalled 48.7 billion euros. Exports to Russia were worth 5.1 billion euros, according to a report by Poland’s Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP).
“Russia and its agents of influence are spreading false information about alleged large losses by Polish companies due to the Russian embargo,” said the association. Cezary Kaźmierczyk, chairman of the ZPP, said: “Much more important for Poland than the ‘great’ Russia is the tiny Czech Republic.”
Polish entrepreneurs, meanwhile, are looking for new markets, for example in Africa and Asia, according to the Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers.
