Poland was ranked 64th in the 2012 Index of Economic Freedom published by The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal.

Poland’s economic freedom score was 64.2. That’s only 0.1 points better than last year, but still it allowed the country to move up by four places.

As the authors put it, this result reflects an improvement in freedom from corruption that is offset by a lower score for government spending.

“Poland has emerged from the global economic downturn largely unscathed, continuing its transition to a more flexible economy. The economy performs relatively well in many areas of economic freedom," reads the report.

"With a transparent and efficient business climate further supported by political stability, Poland has created a dynamic environment for entrepreneurs. Barriers to free trade are quite low, and commercial operations are aided by regulations that support open-market policies. Inflationary pressures are under control, and foreign investment is welcome."
