Building industry
booms in Poland
According to enquiries carried out by the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Poland’s
building industry is on a definite road to
recovery; this can be attributed to the
improved economic situation and result-
ing investments. In addition to privately
financed construction projects, the future
will see more and more funding from the
EU funds to benefit especially civil
engineering and road construction as well
as special environmental construction
projects. The increasing number of ten-
ders for major projects has contributed to
an improved climate in the building in-
dustry: alone in the first quarter of 2004,
there was an increase of 20 % compared
with the figures for the same period in
the previous year. (FAZ, 7 June 2004)
