Morawiecki:

"With a meager pace of revenue execution and an increasing scale of expenditure, the budget deficit will grow further, exposing us to a deterioration of debt conditions and a further distancing from the so-called Maastricht requirements and a safe level of public finances. The question is not if, but when we will exceed the 60% threshold of public finance sector debt in relation to GDP. Increasingly, indications suggest that such a risk will materialize this year" – writes former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. "In the period of January – June 2025, state budget revenues amounted to PLN 264.3 billion, which is approximately PLN 39.6 billion (i.e., 13.0%) lower compared to the same period last year. The budget deficit amounted to a substantial PLN 119.7 billion. This means that every day in 2025, the Tusk government has been indebting us by over PLN 661 million" – claims Morawiecki.
