While Germany continues to struggle with economic stagnation, Poland is expected to remain one of Europe's fastest-growing economies in the years ahead. "Germany needs more fear and more optimism at the same time," says Marcin Piątkowski, professor at Kozminski University, in an interview with Euronews.
Piątkowski became widely known for his bestselling book "Europe's Growth Champion: Insights from the Economic Rise of Poland", in which he examines how Poland transformed itself into one of the world's most successful economic catch-up stories after the fall of communism. He is also a former chief economist of PKO BP, the largest bank in Poland.
