Polish Post Office plans to remain unprivatised

The Polish Post plans to turn into a Treasury-owned holding, the post’s director general, Leszek Kwiatek, announced on Friday.

Kwiatek, in Szczecin for the Polish Post’s 9th Congress, said that after the change the post will control a number of companies, which will allow it to strive for new markets. “We want to commercialize the post but keep it as the property of the Treasury. We are deeply convinced the post should remain a major institution in Poland, with an infrastructure that could be used for various purposes by government and public institutions”, Kwiatek told PAP asked about the Polish Post’s possible privatization.
