Slovakia's economic miracle

Janusz Majcherek expresses admiration for the economic upturn in Slovakia and points out that Poland is falling behind owing to its hesitant economic policy. "Our dogmatists may deny it, but it was the introduction of the flat tax ... that gave the Slovak economy a boost we can only dream of. While Slovakia is experiencing a miracle, here we have only promises. Ten years ago we could convince ourselves that we were the front-runners of the transformation. Today we are far behind - with only divided and frustrated, but nonetheless richer Hungary behind us. The Polish government does not realise what a shock it will be for Poles to enter the euro zone by visiting Slovakia after January 1. ... We can only congratulate the Slovaks! They deserve it."
