Defrosting the economy in Poland and in the world

The day of the coronavirus pandemic is a huge economic decline, dormant market. Both Polish and entrepreneurs from around the world must adapt quickly to new operating conditions and take advantage of the new possibilities of the situation. Most of the affected countries from crisis management mode go into planning and slow loosening of restrictions. Return to normal functioning of the economy is not a simple or fast process. For a long time, the business market will not function as it did just a few months ago. It is likely that the pandemic situation will always have an impact on the economic situation, which will switch to a different path.
