The Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ) has for the sixth time examined the investment climate in Poland.

“Poland received four points on the five-point scale of our investment sentiment survey,” said Sławomir Majman, chairman of PAIiIZ, Puls Biznesu reported. This was around the same score given last year.

“Asked whether Poland was a good investment destination, businessmen gave Poland 4 points on average. And opinions presented by foreign firms were better than those voiced by Polish businessmen,” PAIiIZ wrote in a summary.

The study involved 84 large companies, including 70 with foreign capital.

The category for size of the Polish market gained 3.8 points, Poland's political stability 4.1 points and availability of an adequate workforce 4 points. But the effectiveness of Polish business courts was given only 2.7 points.

Despite the ongoing economic crisis, the condition of foreign firms operating in Poland is good. Some 89 percent of them are planning to increase investments in 2013.
