Ukrainians accounted for 45% of all the new foreign companies that set up shop in Poland last year, according to a report by the Polish Economic Institute.
In a sign of how Russia’s invasion is transforming economies, Ukrainian citizens registered 10,200 one-person enterprises and 3,600 companies with Ukrainian capital between January and September. Their share in the number of new business in Poland rose to 8.5% in September from below 1% before the war began.
