Preliminary edition of the “OECD Economic Outlook” presents the OECD’s assessment of the economic situation and prospects in Member countries. The recent developments in world economies were presented by JØrgen Elmeskov, Acting Head of Economics Department, during the press conference on December 06, 2007.

According to the OECD’s projections and expectations several shocks have hit OECD economies recently:

  • cooling housing market;
  • financial turmoil;
  • higher prices of energy and inflation.

 

The Secretariat underlined that the negative shocks have occurred at a time when growth was being supported by i.e. high employment that boosts income and consumption, high profits and strong balance sheets that underpin investment and resilience in the face of financial losses and tighter credit.

Further actions for fiscal consolidation should be taken, especially within the countries, which can not afford to permanently raise spending or reduce taxes on the basis of temporarily high receipts.

According to the Report, Poland’s economic performance improved further in 2007:

  • acceleration of economic activity in the first half of 2007, driven mainly by booming domestic demand;
  • rise in investment supported by foreign direct investment and EU funds;
  • strong wage increase;
  • the fiscal outcome has improved – launching the reduction of the tax wedge;
  • wages and the external balance remain concerns;
  • fiscal reforms are still needed.

On the occasion of the invitation from IEA to ratify the Agreement on an International Energy Program, the Permanent  Delegation of Poland to the OECD organised at the Polish Embassy in Paris a concert of Mr. Marek Tomaszewski,  a member of the famous Polish piano duet “Marek and Wacek”.  Mr. Piotr Grzegorz Woz´niak, Polish Minister of the Economy and other high level representatives from  the Polish government,  as well as representatives of all OECD and IEA member countries and high level representatives from the OECD and IEA Secretariat, have honoured the concert with their presence.

On October the 3rd Poland was invited to ratify the International Energy Agency (IEA) founding document, the Agreement on an International Energy Program, ipso facto Poland was officially invited to become a new member country of the IEA. The invitation was submitted by the Agency’s Governing Board, the main body in the IEA. During the session of the Governing Board, Poland was represented by the Minister of the Economy, Piotr Grzegorz Woźniak.

From left in the first row pictured are: Piotr Grzegorz Woźniak, Minister for the Economy, Robert Draba, Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the President of Poland, Maciej Woźniak, Director of the Department for Oil and Gas within the Ministry of the Economy - in the salons of the Polish embassy in Paris

The IEA’s emergency response mechanism on oil and oil products markets is a proven manner to increase the energy security of the IEA’s member countries. While joining the IEA, Poland is gaining an extra protection against oil supply disruptions, as well as is becoming a member of the institution that has an immense impact on global energy policy. The invitation is the crowning of lasting 13 years endeavors for the membership, intensified during last two years on the Polish Delegation’s initiative, undertaken by the Ministry of the Economy. In order to fulfill the membership criteria, Poland had to assure legal instruments ensuring the augmentation of oil stocks, up to an equivalent of at least 90 days of net imports. This was achieved on February the 16th by passing a bill, prepared by the Ministry of the Economy, concerning the stocks of oil, oil products and those of natural gas.

Once Poland accedes to the IEA, the number of its member countries will increase to 28. Today the IEA gathers 26 countries, the Slovak Republic is currently completing accession procedures. The IEA is an autonomous intergovernmental organization, existing within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) structure. Only an OECD member country can become the IEA member. On the spot in Paris, where the IEA headquarter is, Polish interests are being represented by the Permanent Delegation of Poland to the OECD, whereas the leading role in the co-operation with the IEA is played by the Ministry of the Economy.

“The Economic Policy Seminar – Ukraine ”

“The Economic Policy Seminar – Ukraine ” took place in Paris on 09 July 2007 . The Ukrainian delegation was headed by Ms. Natalia Boytsun, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine.

The Polish delegation was headed by Ambassador J. Woroniecki, member of the EDR Committee – Counsellor A. Zadruzynski and the delegates form the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The experts invited by the Secretariat, who prepared and conducted deep analysis of the Ukrainian economy were: Mrs. I. Akimova, Director of Analytical Centre BEST and Mr. P. Sutela, BOFIT, Bank of Finland.

The authors of the report and the participants during the seminar pointed out the following aspects of the Ukrainian economy:

  • after a decade of crisis, Ukraine has been enjoying a period of high growth 7.4% during 2000-06;
  • growth has been driven by domestic household consumption supported by rapid increases in wages, social transfers and growth in retail credits;
  • the degree of fiscal pressure has risen markedly since 2003 which can influence the lower attractiveness of the Ukrainian economy;
  • reducing inflation should become the primary focus of the monetary policy;
  • further strong growth will depend primary on improving the business climate;
  • further subsidies to state-owned enterprises should be reduced and corporate governance should be introduced in those enterprises;
  • given its human capital endowments and the comparative advantages conferred by relatively low wages and proximity to EU, one of the major disappointments of the Ukraine ’s performance has been its relative failure to attract foreign direct investment (FDI);
  • further privatisation could magnify the benefits of increased competition.

It is worth noticing, that bearing in mind Polish concern on the further development of the Ukrainian economy, Poland offered voluntary contribution to the OECD, which allowed to finalize the report and to prepare the seminar. A great acknowledgement to Poland was expressed both, by the Secretariat and the Ukrainian delegates. The Polish delegates were active during the second session of the seminar, while the administrative barriers, FDI, attractiveness of the Ukrainian products were discussed. Our experience in attracting foreign investors who invested in Poland , the nature of the FDI, legal and administrative solutions in this area were presented by Ambassador. J. Woroniecki.

The final version of the report on Ukraine will be launched during a special conference in Kiev on September 4, 2007 .

Visit of Polish parliamentarians to the OECD

On the 22nd of June the OECD hosted a visit of Polish parliamentarians, members of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Polish lower chamber of Parliament, Sejm. The group of parliamentarians was chaired by Mr. P. Zalewski, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission. Mr. A. Mańka, Mr. M. Piłka and Mr. P. Śpiewak, Vice – Chairs of the Commission were also participating.

It’s worth of mentioning that it was the first visit of Polish parliamentarians to the OECD.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the meeting of Standing Group on Emergency Question (11 – 12 June 2007), whose works are crucial for functioning of oil supply crisis mechanism of the International Energy Agency, Poland’s preparedness to participate in the mechanism was assessed. The assessment done on the basis of the IEA experts’ report was very positive for Poland . The adjustments made in the recent months were appreciated, in particular legislative ones (the “Act of 16 February 2007 on the stocks of crude oil, oil products and natural gas” which has introduced an obligation to create oil stocks corresponding to 90 days of net imports), as well as organizational ones. The IEA indicated also that Poland should further pursuit its policy of diversification of energy carriers supply.

First national territorial review of Poland

At the beginning of this year the first national territorial review of Poland has been launched. It will last 18 months and will be finalized in June 2008. Three OECD expert missions will explore and evaluate Polish territorial policy, and particularly regional performances and underused potentials, as well as multi-level governance of regional development and public management issues. The publication of the report in autumn 2008 will be accompanied by the conference and presentation of its results and recommendations.

According to the agenda of the review, the first study mission of OECD experts on Territorial Review of Poland arrived at Warsaw at the end of May. The OEC delegation was chaired by Mr. Mario Pezzini, Deputy Director of Public Governance and Territorial Development Directorate.

OECD Economic Outlook

Preliminary edition of the “OECD Economic Outlook” presents the OECD’s assessment of the economic situation and prospects in Member countries. The recent developments in world economies were presented by Mr. J-P. Cotis, Chief Economist during the press conference on May 24, 2007 .

OECD central forecast remains quite benign: a soft landing in the US , a strong and sustained recovery in Europe , a solid trajectory in Japan and buoyant activity in China and India .

In the US , with core inflation still higher than desired and unemployment below most estimates of its sustainable level, there is a case for keeping a slightly restrictive monetary stance. There may even be a case for addition tightening in the UK , should inflationary pressures persist. In Japan , where deflation has not yet been rooted out and economic slack may be larger than expected, policy rates would need to remain on hold for some time.

This Economic Outlook incorporates a special chapter on the political economy of fiscal consolidation, trying to infer from past experiences the policies and institutional factors that underpin successes and failures.

According to the Report, Poland ’s economic performance improved further in 2006:

Þ     the pace of the expansion strengthened, with a GDP growth rate close 6%, driven mainly by EU funds, private consumption and investments;

Þ     unemployment fell and wages accelerated;

Þ     strong domestic demand, falling unemployment and accelerating unit labour costs suggest that monetary policy should be tightened in 2007;

Þ     wages and the external balance remain concerns;

Þ     fiscal reforms are still needed.

OECD Ministerial Council Meeting

 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting (MCM 2007) took place in Paris , on 15th – 16th of May. MCM 2007 was chaired by the Spain as Chair and both Poland and Japan as Vice-Chairs. Poland has been represented by Mr. Piotr Grzegorz Woźniak, Minister of the Economy.    

 Enlargement and extension of cooperation

During the ministerial session of the OECD Council on the 16th of May 2007 ministers took decision on enlargement of the OECD and on extension of cooperation with non-member countries. The decision opens the door to candidates for membership in the OECD after about 10 years since Slovakia joined as the 30th member.

The decision gives the Secretary General of the OECD a mandate authorising him to start preparatory talks with five countries – Chile, Israel, the Russian Federation, Estonia and Slovenia – and to draw up, individually for each candidate, a so called “road map”, i.e. a document which sets out terms and conditions necessary to fulfil in order to become a member of the OECD. Acceptance (unanimous) by the Council of this document will mean opening the negotiations with a specific candidate state. Member states have also gained the right to address candidates with requests of a political nature which may become a condition of their accession.

In the field of cooperation with non-member countries the decision invites the Secretary General to strengthen contacts with Brazil , India , Indonesia , China and Republic of South Africa . The Secretary General has also been obliged to develop programmes to extend relations of the Organisation, including in the form of so called “enhanced engagement”, with countries and regions having strategic significance to the OECD. Priority has been assigned to the region of South East Asia .       

 Innovation 

Ministers agreed that innovation performance is a crucial determinant of competitiveness, productivity and national progress, and that it is an important key to addressing global challenges such as climate change and sustainable development. They concluded that in order to strengthen innovation performance and its contribution to growth, a strategic and comprehensive cross-government policy approach is required.  

Recognizing the OECD’s high-quality contributions in the area of innovation they welcomed plans for an OECD Innovation Strategy, which could make an important contribution to policymaking in OECD and non-OECD economies.  The strategy could draw on relevant OECD work on innovation, entrepreneurship and the broader business environment. Ministers particularly welcomed the incorporation of cross-cutting work on innovation to address global challenges, notably in the environmental and health domains. They asked the OECD to study the impact of innovation on the services sector,  current IPR system in the context of the new, more open, business environment for innovation.

Trade

Keynote statement to the MCM Trade Session was delivered by Mr. Marcin Korolec, Under Secretary of State,  Polish Ministry of the Economy.

As OECD work has clearly demonstrated, the Doha Development Agenda provides a welcome opportunity for more open trade to contribute to growth of the world economy, and in particular to improve economic prospects for developing countries. Ministers expressed their determination to exploit this opportunity and are conscious of the urgency to achieve results that is required at this juncture. Ministers stressed the importance of providing aid for trade to developing countries, so trade can work as an engine of growth.

Even after the Doha round, there will be major challenges to an open global trading system. Designing effective ways to liberalise rapidly growing services sectors will require new information and ground breaking analysis. Finding ways to achieve domestic policy goals without creating new obstacles to trade, including in the areas of regulations and standards, will be increasingly important. Information will be needed on how best to ensure bilateral, regional and preferential arrangements complement the multilateral system. Ministers indicated that they look to the OECD for analysis and advice on how best to respond to such challenges and opportunities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OECD Forum and Ministerial level Meeting

The energy ministers welcomed IEA compliance with the instructions given at the 2005 ministerial session.  They also discussed conclusions from emergency collective response after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The main topics of the plenary sessions were: short-term and long-term risks to energy security, resource nationalism (basing on the example of Venezuela and Russia ), energy efficiency and new technologies. In the Communiqué energy ministers called the IEA to advise on emergency response mechanisms and policies for gas markets. Ministers also welcomed the Poland ’s forthcoming accession to the IEA.

The OECD review of Poland's enforcement of the Convention
on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials
in International Business Transactions

During the meeting on 16-18 January 2007, the OECD Working Group on Bribery in International Business Transactions discussed and adopted a report based on the  review of Poland 's enforcement of the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. The report is available at www.oecd.org/corruption.

In the report members of the OECD Working Group stressed Poland 's achievements in strengthening its capacities to prosecute foreign bribery offences and other crimes by setting a new structure of organised crime units within the prosecution authority and creating specialised anti-corruption police units. Activities of the Polish Export Credit Insurance Corporation (KUKE), which is developing and strengthening its procedures aiming at detection of foreign bribery, have been positively assessed. The report also highlights very good cooperation between the General Inspector of Financial Information, police and the prosecution authority in a system of detecting money laundering and the proper functioning of the mutual legal assistance system. Amendments to the Polish Penal Code providing for a longer limitation period with regard to the foreign bribery offence, have also been positively acknowledged.
The report includes a list of recommendations addressed to Poland aiming at fuller implementation of the Convention. According to the report Poland should, inter alia, strengthen its laws on corporate liability. Polish preliminary declaration to introduce some legal amendments in this regard has been welcomed. Members of the OECD Working Group also pointed out that Poland should be more active in detecting and prosecuting foreign bribery offences and strengthen its efforts to raise awareness of that issue in the public and private sector.

After one year Poland should make an oral statement on measures undertaken to implement the recommendations of the OECD Working Group. After two years  Poland will be obliged to submit to the Group a written report, which will serve the basis for a publicly available Working Group's assessment of Poland 's implementation of the recommendations
