Competition for the best macroeconomic analyst organised by 鈥淧arkiet鈥� and 鈥淩zeczpospolita鈥�
Participants in the competition forecast trends in the Polish economy every three months. Importantly, they do so for four quarters ahead, which means that success in the edition summarising forecasts for 2025 was also determined by predictions formulated as early as the first half of 2024. What matters is not so much the ability to capture short-term trends, but rather the accuracy of longer-term scenarios and the professionalism with which they are quantified.
