Poland’s Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski was awarded the title of “Finance Minister of the Year 2012 for Emerging Europe” by Emerging Markets, an online economic news site. David Hauner, head of EEMEA economics and fixed income strategy at BofA Merrill Lynch, said Mr Rostowski had provided a model for how his Western European neighbors should have acted since the sovereign debt crisis hit the euro zone. Poland’s economy has grown in every year since the crisis began.
