Morawiecki:
We are not among the top 20 or even 30 richest countries in the world. We are very far behind in terms of wealth.
- Marcin [Horała] mentioned the G20. Perhaps someone among you here knows what level of wealth Poland is at, in terms of this fundamental comparative measure between countries? Are we the 20th richest country in the world? Well, we are not - said Mateusz Morawiecki during the presentation of the "Powered by Poland" report.
- We are not among the 20 richest countries in the world. We are not even among the 30 richest countries in the world. We are in 44th place when it comes to GDP per capita in nominal dollars - he pointed out.
- The fact that we entered the group of the 20 largest economies nominally at this particular historical moment is solely due to a combination of our demographics, meaning we are a relatively larger country than Switzerland, Belgium, or Sweden in terms of population, and we have reached a certain level of economic development, a certain disposable income and national income per capita at this specific level - he continued.
- Therefore, on balance, we have this trillion in nominal dollars and 2 trillion, I am rounding, in purchasing power parity. But in terms of wealth, we are very far behind, and it is precisely this wealth that anchors us so strongly in this dependent model - he emphasized.
