1. What kind of discharge? The fact that companies with foreign capital plugged the hole after the previous regime is rather normal and not a "flood".
2. The market is a consumer and this Polish consumer is poor so there is nothing to fight for. For now, the only "rash" are supermarkets, where you can often buy cheap and poor-quality food. People will always eat and wash, but these are only the basics of consumption and the most down-to-earth ones.
3. The average income in Germany in the eastern federal states is slightly above 2,000 EUR, in Poland 5,000 PLN - which is still two times less than in Germany, counting only the eastern federal states. If you look at the Western Länder, the average is around EUR 5,000 - which is over 4 times more than the average in Poland.
4. This means that the "West" German has 5 times the purchasing power of his salary. Illustratively - multiply your "salary" by 5, multiply your wife's salary by 5 and think how much easier it would be for your family to live. Surely you would not put the whole "on account" but you would consume a lot.
5. So, despite some changes, we are still a niche consumer because we are a poor consumer and such eBay certainly knows what it is doing without entering Poland.
1. It is rather an effect of the policy of the State which prefers to support Western companies rather than domestic, Polish ones. Well, but you can believe what you want.
2. The market is ... the market, and the consumer is the consumer and is only one element of the market. Another is the producer, as well as the seller, service provider, goods, services, etc. You do not need to be a genius to notice the difference between the number of Western companies in Poland and the number of Western goods sold in relation to Polish ones. Besides, people in Poland not only eat and wash, (do you have a computer at home or a smartphone and the Internet? - I think so, because you wrote this post on Sunday after all):] it is not the majority of Poles goods and ... services unfortunately. As for the supermarkets themselves, they do not sell only food (unless someone likes to enjoy the taste of such a drill from Juli, or a lawn mower or oil paint from OBI), and if we are with it, it is not only of poor quality. As for the supermarkets themselves, they are somehow the effect of the policy of Polish governments, which destroys small Polish entrepreneurship, for example by supporting large Western concerns.
3. And it will not change with good intentions alone. As the saying goes Good intentions, this hell is riddled with. I will ignore the fact that I have many reservations as to whether the rulers actually have good intentions for Poles to live better. They probably care more about stools and a trough. The average in no way reflects the wealth of the nation, the median is better, but not ideal. In addition, not only earnings are important, but also the prices of goods and services, i.e. how much for your salary you can buy in a nutshell. The fact that the prices of Polish entrepreneurs' goods and services are usually higher than those of Western ones and it is difficult for them to compete with them is often the fault of various taxes, which are included in the price of these goods and services. How is it that it is cheaper to get goods from somewhere exotic China or even from Germany and sell them in Poland than to produce them here in Poland?
4. You have a pi?cet plus, so what is it, p? Seriously, I wrote about what I think about the average, as well as the comparison of our earnings to the Western ones. I am interested in how much I and another Pole can buy for our salary, and not the number of zeros. About 20 years ago we were all millionaires, which didn't necessarily translate into our personal wealth, right? As for the wealth of Germany, were they in the same economic situation as Poland 30 years after the end of the war? Were the people equally poor? Poland is, of course, poorer than Germany, it is obvious, but it does not mean that we are as poor as Venezuela (by the way, very rich in natural resources and extremely favorable conditions for plant vegetation), in our country people from hunger on the streets do not die like in Venezuela and every year, as Poles, we spend these several dozen or several hundred billion euros or zlotys (no matter what currency it is counted in) for various pleasures that are more or less pleasant for us. Do you think it is not enough for Western concerns to start graciously interested in our market?
5. And in this connection, probably, it is greedy for our penny earnings Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Leroy Merlin, Toshiba, LG, etc. etc. entered the Polish market? You think so ? The Chinese are probably also pushing into our market for this reason.
No offense, but if we in Poland have economics specialists like you, I am not surprised that we have exactly the economic situation and the financial situation of most Polish families that we have. I don't want to discuss the economy and politics in a forum that is not for that anymore. Perhaps I will end with such a statement. The fact is that we are not the richest country, but we also do not belong to the poorest, lest the benevolent western companies are not interested in our market. However, I believe that it could have been much better if it were not for the Policy of the State and the attitude of the majority of people who still believe in socialism. Martians don't vote for them.
In conclusion, it is accurate to say "a flood of Western companies", these constitute the majority and their number is still growing. the dynamics is also greater in relation to Polish companies.
The point is that the market will regulate itself.
