Morawiecki made the statement during a debate with his Slovenian counterpart Janez Janša and Ukraine's Denys Shmyhal at the annual Economic Forum in Karpacz, a mountain resort in southern Poland.
The three heads of government discussed the post-pandemic recovery of Europe, and Morawiecki told the conference that Poland's "new order" would "depart from the neoliberal dogma," the PAP news agency reported.
He said he was challenging the view that "nobody needs the state" and that "the best economic policy is no economic policy."
"We are indeed departing from all this, and we showed what a concrete, family-friendly social policy can achieve," Morawiecki told the conference.
"Many were initially skeptical about our 500-plus child allowance plan," he added, "but we introduced it effectively and the programme has proved a gamer changer for millions of Polish families."
"I am confident it will be the same with the Polish New Deal," Morawiecki predicted, referring to a new government package of socioeconomic policies for the country's post-COVID-19 recovery.
"That programme, too, is addressed to the whole society and aims to help Poland grow justly and evenly," he said.
The Economic Forum in Karpacz, dubbed "the Polish Davos," is a three-day annual conference that was previously held in Krynica, another mountain resort in southern Poland.
This year, more than 3,500 guests from around the world have converged on Karpacz, including senior politicians, parliamentarians, business executives and culture leaders.
