Invest in Poland

Poland is the sixth most attractive country in the world to invest in. It has climbed up from last year's 12th position. Among the Polish cities, Cracow is considered a perfect place for business.
Poland has made a great improvement in order to become an investor-friendly country, and as a result, it scores much higher in the rankings. The latest World Investment Report 2011 by UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) placed Poland as the sixth most attractive country in the world to invest in 2011-2013. This is a significant promotion, given the 12th position in 2010. According to the Report, investors would benefit much more when investing in Poland than in Germany (9th position), United Kingdom (13th position) and even in Singapore (14th).

Anglicisms: Why Biedronka is a ‘Trusted Brand’ and not ‘Zaufana Marka’.

On my recent trip to Poland I witnessed a not-so-very-surprising linguistic phenomenon of the Polish language being under a strong influence of the English language. It’s nothing new – as far as I remember, English words have always been entering the Polish language, be it technical terms – mostly connected with computing - or slang phrases used by teenagers. What struck me, however, was the scale of the occurrence, and the areas where English words wormed their way into the Polish language. It seems that just as the Eastern-European migrants ‘invaded’ United Kingdom, English terms have done exactly the same with the Polish language.
