A world populated by experts

Government educational programmes on the TV are always keen to inform us that Poles are jealous of the whole world, but at the same time, each nation without exception holds a deep admiration for us. We are the subject of everyone’s attention and the topic of in-depth analyses by all those countries where nothing goes quite to plan

Small talk

Smooth(er) sailing

Swedish real estate investor Eastnine has until now mainly been active in the Baltic states. As it takes the plunge into the Polish market with its first acquisitions, we asked the company's CEO, Kestutis Sasnauskas, why here and why now? (among other questions)

Stock market report

Troubling times

The Warsaw Stock Exchange has been performing poorly recently in comparison to other trading floors across Europe, even though the economy has been surprisingly resilient and the expected slowdown shouldn’t be so severe.

Women – and this should come as no surprise – tend to do very well in the real estate sector. They are also working in fields that are stereotypically seen as male.

Still flying high

All the different types of shopping centre, including large malls, have seen rising sales revenues sales this year in Poland. Thus the entire sector has reasons to be optimistic.

Hitting the high C

On the one hand, it’s the first class A office building in Bielsko-Biała; while on the other, it’s one of the most modern concert halls in Europe, with the most superb acoustics. Musicians, concert-goers, and corporate employees are all set to converge on Cavatina Hall

Endpiece

Souped up servings

Our Endpiece columns have recently been pre-occupied with the tragedy unfolding across our south-eastern border. But some time ago, I decided to write about something more uplifting. So forgive me for a moment of light-heartedness amid darker events as I return to this topic
