The startup market in Poland will be stronger after the end of the pandemic. Every crisis is a good ground for the development of innovation. You can also see that now these types of entities are doing well. In addition, the current situation creates a chance for development for Polish companies operating in the field of broadly defined preventive healthcare. It is also an ideal time for projects related to the online area, including remote work or e-education. But a pandemic also has risks. Some of these companies will collapse. It can already be seen that investors are more willing to limit the risk, preferring to subscribe for smaller shares. However, such moves do not discourage the industry.

Why banks reduce interest rates on deposits.

The rate reductions are due to the fact that this strategy brings double benefits to banks. First of all, paying lower interest costs less. In addition, some people discouraged by low interest rates give up deposits and simply keep savings on an interest-free bill. This means for banks a free source of financing. In addition, the advantage of deposits over loans granted is increasing in the banking sector. The value of the former is already 13 percent higher than loans. For comparison, in 2011 the situation was opposite – the value of loans was up by 14 percent higher than deposits. Banks are therefore less and less motivated to pay us high interest rates. They are not able to earn part of our savings because they give too little credit.

The Swiss Franc is the most expensive since the beginning of April

The Swiss franc, one of the more closely observed currencies in Poland, has risen in price compared to the zloty by about 2 percent over the past two weeks. The franc rate rose above PLN 3.81, reaching the level we recently observed at the beginning of April this year. Unfortunately, the franc may soon be even more expensive. Not only the Polish zloty but also the US dollar or the euro are losing to the franc. In two weeks, the franc strengthened against the euro by about 1.5 percent, and against the dollar by about 1.6 percent.
