What goes on in Poland on the 27th of July.

Poland wants to import more coal through ports in the Baltic states

Poland will look for the possibility of importing coal through other ports located on the Baltic Sea, such as Riga or Klaipeda, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Rafał Weber informed on Tuesday.

– The Council of Ministers expresses the will to intensify activities related to the inflow of coal to Poland. We point out that we will not only carry out the activities related to the transport of coal through Polish ports, but we will also look for opportunities to expand the capacity, for example via the Baltic ports in Riga or Klaipeda, Weber said. He explained that at a meeting on Tuesday, the government agreed to the adoption of such a draft resolution.

Grupa Lotos will be removed from the Stock Exchange index

The Benchmark Stock Exchange decided to remove Grupa Lotos from the WIG20 portfolios as well as other stock exchange indices. The decision was made two days after the information that the merger with PKN Orlen was entered in the court register.

It is most likely that Grupa Lotos will be replaced by Grupa Kęty. – In case of an extraordinary revision, the index will include the first company on the reserve list, currently Kęty, Maciej Marcinowski from Trigon DM told the Polish Press Agency. The Warsaw Stock Exchange will suspend trading in Lotos shares from 29 July 2022 until these shares are excluded from trading on the WSE Main Market.
