Over the years, Norway has attracted thousands of Polish workers, and today Poland attracts both returning emigrants and workers from Western Europe, noted Sindre Heyerdahl. At the peak, 13,000 people came to Norway to work. Poles per year, and last year - only 360.

"Many of them returned, bringing experience, professional qualifications, and often quite a lot of capital," the commentator emphasized.

These returns are related to the economic development of the country, which has created new employment and business opportunities. Poland is among the 20 largest economies in the world - its economy is already twice as large as Norway's. Polish companies are conquering foreign markets and even taking over German enterprises, the daily noted.

What determined Poland's success?

This success was - according to the newspaper - determined by the diligence, entrepreneurship and high level of education of Poles, as well as the state's use of the opportunities related to membership in the European Union.

Heyerdahl paid particular attention to the cooperation of Polish enterprises that use each other's services and constantly strive for development.

"Build something bigger, go abroad, conquer new markets" - a Norwegian journalist assessed the ambitions of Polish entrepreneurs.

"Poland no longer resembles the former Eastern Europe"

According to Heyerdahl, Poland's further development will, however, require overcoming serious challenges, especially in the field of innovation. The commentator emphasized that the advantage of lower labor costs will gradually lose its importance, and the long-term problems are currently low fertility rates, an aging population and a serious budget deficit.

Open Questions

  • What specific steps will Poland take to increase innovation?
  • How will the budget deficit affect the pace of further development?

Additional verification for large purchases. New regulations from mid-2027.

From July 2027, the AMLR regulation will enter into force in the EU, introducing uniform rules on counteracting money laundering. Entrepreneurs will be obliged to carefully verify the identity of customers for transactions over PLN 10,000. euro (approx. PLN 43,000), regardless of the form of payment. In practice, this means the need to provide data such as PESEL, NIP or IBAN. The regulations will cover not only banks, but also car dealers, real estate agents, art galleries, auction houses, sports clubs, lawyers, lending companies, crowdfunding platforms and crypto-asset service providers. In the case of cash transactions, simplified verification may be required from PLN 3,000. euro. The aim is to reduce differences between national rules and increase the security of financial transactions across the Union.
