The Financial Situation of Polish Enterprises 1992-93 and its Impact on Monetary and Fiscal Policies

Introduction

This is the first detailed study of enterprise finances in a country of Central and Eastern Europe during transition. It is based on enterprise data collected monthly by the Polish Central Statistical Office. Its primary purpose is to provide answers to questions about the size of enterprise debt, particularly bad debt, to banks, other enterprises, and the government; about its distributions by sector of activity and type of ownership; and about its evolution over time.
