Meanwhile, 14% of businesses want to take on more employees, and 78% plan to maintain their current level of employment, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported, citing the head of the Polish Economic Institute.
A study carried out at the end of April found that 12% of firms were planning layoffs, a result that was 16 percentage points lower than at the end of March and two percentage points lower than in mid-April.
The Polish government in March came up with a multibillion relief and stimulus package to mitigate the economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, Polish Radio notes.
