POLAND: Tusk & Macron To Discuss Proposed Post-War Ukraine Peacekeeping Mission

POLAND
  • French President Emmanuel Macron visits Poland today, with talks set to focus on the ongoing war in Ukraine. Bloomberg reported that Macron and Prime Minister Donald Tusk will discuss the potential deployment of European troops for a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine once a ceasefire is reached. Separately, an EU diplomat confirmed this for POLITICO, suggesting that the peacekeeping force could be composed of 40,000 troops.
  • Prime Minister Tusk announced that TVN and Polsat television stations will be added to the list of strategically important enterprises, which means that the government will be able to block their potential takeover. This came amid speculation that Warner Bros could sell off their stake in TVN to Hungarian and Czech investors, reportedly sympathetic to the main opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party.
  • Business Insider reported that the government is planning to revamp the criteria for taking positions in the supervisory boards of state-owned enterprises. The planned changes are a consequence of a recent scandal surrounding a private university accused of selling MBA diplomas.
  • NBP's Kotecki gave a round of interviews yesterday suggesting that Governor Glapinski's guidance did not reflect the MPC's consensus view. He later said that the central bank could cut rates by no more than 100bp next year, but most likely less than that.
