Posted: 2014-11-07
A recent conference held in Warsaw brought together important names in the Polish business industry and highlighted the most important business opportunities the country has to offer in 2015. Outsourcing in various fields will be an important business sector in the coming year. Foreign investments in this field are growing and Poland is making a name for itself, compensating for a relatively late start in the outsourcing business area. Polish company owners will be delighted to see an increase in the productivity of their bsuiness by outsourcing several very consuming activities.An important decision for the Polish Stock Exchange
One decision that will influence foreign investments in Poland in the coming year is the recent decision made by the Polish Stock Exchange not to merge with the CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG) based in Vienna. The reason for the refusal was an economic calculation. Economic specialists in Poland believe that the decision was a good one because the transaction would have been difficult for the Warsaw bourse due to technological and financial reasons.
Economists in Poland believe that the country should turn its attention towards its domestic market which offers great potential for organic growth. Poland offers many investment opportunities for foreign entrepreneurs, one of the most important being real estate investments.
Poland, a location for outsourcing
Business process outsourcing is a strong business sector in Poland. Although the country wasn't among the first in the EU to embrace the outsourcing sector, the country now holds almost half of the business process outsourcing centers in Central and Eastern Europe.
The scope and number of outsourced processes grew in Poland and now ranges from IT, HR, purchases to legal services. However, the growing demand for outsourced processes will also mean that Poland will need to provide an increased number of qualified workforce.
One advantage Poland has to offer to investors, if compared to other European countries, is the existence of the Polish Special Economic Zones. Investors choosing to open a company in one of these areas can benefit from special conditions and a very frindly taxation system.
