Koniunktura w gospodarce polskiej : barometr koniunktury

Abstract

The IRG SGH barometer (BARIRG) in the 2nd quarter of 2020 equals to -35.85 pts. Compared to the 1st quarter it decreased by 26.95 pts, and is now 35.4 pts down from the respective year 2019 figure. Instead of seasonal recovery which typically comes up in this time of a year, the Polish economy faced a shock of the un precedented magnitude. Economic activity came under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the following lockdown. The surveys were conducted mostly in the 2nd half of April, when a large part of the economy was still shut down, and producers and consumers were un confident about their economics prospects. All six indicators which contribute to the barometer declined, with some of them hitting record low.(original abstract)
