“Co-financing from the government’s Strategic Investments Program will be received by 98% of Polish local governments. It is a total of PLN 30 billion for investments. Together with EU funds, this program will be a modernization impulse for the Polish economy”, said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the presentation of the results of the second stage of the program’s enrollment.

Under the program, the government co-finances investments in communes, poviats and cities all over Poland. The program is implemented through investment promises granted by Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego.

47% of applications that have been positively resolved are road investments. 16% are water and sewage infrastructure, 8% are sports infrastructure, and 7% are educational. When presenting the report, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki emphasized that the state must be always ready and must be helpful to everyone.

“My desire is very close cooperation with local government officials, shoulder to shoulder, not burying the head in the sand, but solving problems together”, emphasized the head of government.

“Our investments are unprecedented. However, one should also remember about compensation for current expenses. It is described in the act and we will use implementing further elements in the fight against Putin’s inflation”, said Prime Minister Morawiecki

The head of government also talked about the need for a solidarity economic model – where the state, through the quality of management of public finances and financial institutions, is able to leave more money in citizens’ wallets and allocate more funds for investments, even in the smallest communes.

“We also need a strong modernization impulse. We have resources not only from the national reconstruction fund, but also from European funds, and unprecedented resources from the national budget. Poles can see them in new roads, projects and investments all over Poland”, said Mateusz Morawiecki.
