Sample
10 November 2026 (sample, unverified)
Good morning from Warsaw.
Top story: Polish households bought PLN 8.2 billion of retail Treasury bonds in October, the Finance Ministry reported. One-year ROR bonds led the month. From the start of the year, buyers have taken up almost PLN 73 billion.
Also in that draft: GUS put the third-quarter average wage at PLN 9,317.01; BNP Paribas Bank Polska said it plans group layoffs of no more than 400 staff in 2027–2029; Echo Investment set out the next stage of Towarowa22 in Warsaw; and URE published a 2027 renewable-energy fee of PLN 6.40/MWh.
What you get
Each issue opens the same way: Good morning from Warsaw. Then a Top Story, a short Between the lines box, and the rest of the day in tight paragraphs.
- A number of the day, and a small markets strip when the official figures are in (WIG20, the złoty, the 10-year yield, the NBP rate).
- Economy and the central bank
- Companies and deals
- Real estate and data centers
- Energy
- Startups and VC
- A calendar of what is coming up
- From the newsmakers — short, exact quotations from official X and LinkedIn accounts (ministries, NBP, companies, CEOs and funds), each with a handle and a direct link. Commentators are not used.
Facts come first, from primary sources only. Patrick's take, when there is one, sits on a separate, clearly labelled line.
Who it's for
- Foreign fund managers watching Poland
- Executives at S&P 500 companies with operations here
- Expat professionals and founders
- Anyone allocating capital, or looking for the next investment opportunity, in the Polish market
If you need the Polish business day in English, before the morning meetings start, this is written for you.
Why trust it
- Primary sources only. Items are taken from the institutions that made the news: NBP, GUS, the Finance Ministry, company filings and official press releases, UOKiK, KNF, URE, PSE, PFR and the like. Newspapers and news sites are not used as sources.
- Every factual item is fact-checked before an issue is published.
- Facts and opinion are kept apart. The news is written straight. Patrick's take is labelled as such, and is written in a plain-spoken, pro-business investor's voice.
- If a section has no official source that day, we say so. We do not fill gaps with rumours.
