Speaking in a media interview on Wednesday, Morawiecki said Poland would not only avoid a recession this year, but enjoy a strong economic recovery.
“I think the economy will grow at least 4 percent or so," he stated.
Poland's President Andrzej Duda last week signed the country’s budget for 2021, which expects the economy to grow 4 percent, with inflation targeted at 1.8 percent.
Meanwhile, in 2020, the Polish economy contracted by 2.8 percent, the country’s Central Statistical Office (GUS) estimated last Friday.
Referring to that figure, Morawiecki said on Wednesday that the "shallowness of the recession" last year surprised many experts and was a good sign for 2021, Poland’s PAP news agency reported.
