Poland. Competitiveness report 2022. Towards a sustainable economy in a pandemic era
Sustainable competitiveness is a relatively new concept, but rising in importance in face of external shocks that have impacted the economy in the last years, like COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine or the climate changes and related energy crisis. Considering this, resilience to crisis has become one of the key drivers of a strong competitive position. These new tendencies determine the research aim of the monograph, which is to identify the competitive position of the Polish economy, taking into account the foremost components of sustainable competitiveness. The specific objectives of the monograph are to:
• present the theoretical background of the issue of international competitiveness in a time of crisis, with a particular focus on the significance of sustainable competitiveness and the issue of resilience and vulnerability to crises;
• define Poland’s competitive position, in particular to assess the development of individual factors of competitiveness, such as land and water resources, investment, labour, innovation and technological development, and institutions;
• identify the international competitive position of Poland compared with other European Union member states, taking into account income competitiveness, foreign trade competitiveness, and sustainable competitiveness (including its environmental and social components).
