The Polish investment market will likely double its trade volume by 2017, according to Generali PPF Asset Management. The Czech asset company claims Poland’s investment market has the greatest growth potential in the CEE region. While the Czech and Slovak fund market is expected to expand by 70 to 80 percent, Poland will grow by 100 percent, according to Generali PPF. Meanwhile, Slovakia and Hungary’s investment market will increase by just 50 percent.
Generali PPF based its estimates on the countries’ GDP per capita growth rate. “We assumed, that the higher GDP per capita growth rate, the more money people will have for investing. We used regression analysis, relating those two variables, for all EU countries,” said Martin Pohl of Generali PPF.
