The accuracy of the advertisement

As a Pole I will comment on the accuracy of the advert, which tries to attract foreign investors to my country, and is was commented by tutor2you (http://www.tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/economics/comments/investing-in-poland/)

The first thesis of the short advert that I will discuss is the number of the universities. Yes we have almost 500 universities (487). In Poland there are about 19 414 000 students, and this number is gradually growing.

It is also true, that we are the fastest growing economies in the new European countries (second in the OECD countries), since 2003 we have bigger growth than 5% annually, with relatively small inflation (between 2 and 6 per cent).

The ‘numerous incentives and grants’ come predominately from UE, which in years 2007 – 2013 will allocate 80 billion Euro in our economy. This money is available also for foreigners who want to invest in our country.

The most controversial argument in the advertisements is the one that Poland is the one of the ‘most attractive location for the FDI’. It is true that it is ranked by many as so but, this is has to be evaluated by me in the next essay, because this issue is bit more complicated than those mentioned above.
