CAKE at the presentation of the OECD Report for Poland

On the 4th February 2025 Maciej Cygler, our CAKE/KOBIZEexpert participated in the presentation of the OECD report: Economic Survey for Poland 2025.

The OECD has published its Economic Survey for Poland 2025. The report was presented at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics on 4 February 2025. While it focuses mainly on macroeconomic policies, health care and the green transition were also recognised as important issues and were addressed in individual chapters.

The presentation of the study by Zuzana Smidova, one of its co-authors, was followed by a panel discussion, perfectly moderated by Eliza Przeździecka, Director of the Institute of International Economics at SGH, who invited Katarzyna Kacperczyk, Deputy Minister of Health, Maciej Cygler, expert from the Centrum Analiz Klimatyczno-Energetycznych (CAKE) / Centre for Climate and Energy Analysis and SGH Faculty, Piotr Maszczyk, SGH Faculty, and Tomasz Kozluk, OECD Advisor.

Our CAKE/KOBIZE colleague Maciej Cygler appreciated the OECD’s findings, which underline the importance of the green transition and acknowledge the scale of the challenges. He also agreed with the main recommendations of the review and the opinion of OECD Chief Economist Alvaro Santos Pereira, who said that more efforts are needed to address long-term challenges, including the green transition. He also noted that the evaluation of Poland’s achievements in the field of climate policy and energy transition must consider the fact that Poland is a member of the EU, which affects both the setting of these policies’ targets and their implementation. He mentioned that this good report would be even better in terms of green transition if more use were made of CAKE’s analytical reports, which show both the impacts of climate policies and effective ways of implementation.

Thank you for valuable discussion.
