@ARTICLE{Rubaj_Piotr_Emerging_2020, author={Rubaj, Piotr}, number={No 1}, journal={Ekonomista}, pages={75-93}, howpublished={online}, year={2020}, publisher={Polskie Towarzystwo Ekonomiczne}, publisher={Instytut Nauk Ekonomicznych Polskiej Akademii Nauk}, abstract={Poland’s economy is closely connected with European markets, particularly within the European Union: almost 90% of Polish commodity export goes to European countries and 80% is absorbed by other EU countries. The common European market is absorptive, safe and stabile, and goods and services sold there are duty free. But the high concentration of exports in this market implies a strong dependence on the modest growth dynamics and local fluctuations of demand, while reducing the gains that could be obtained from the presence in emerging markets which include several large and rapidly growing developing economies. The paper gives a general characteristics of those markets, including the information on their economic and population potential, and their place in the world economy – at present and in the future (according to current statistical data and long-run forecasts). The statistics of Polish foreign trade indicates a very small share of emerging countries in the geographical structure of Poland’s exports. The author describes the chances and threats combined with export expansion to these markets, emphasizing that the net balance of benefits and risks is clearly positive, which should encourage Polish enterprises to take a more active part in trade and cooperation with those countries and regions.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Emerging markets: prospective directions of Polish exports}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116612/PDF-MASTER/EKON_2020-01_04-Rubaj.pdf}, keywords={foreign trade, Polish exports, emerging markets}, }
