The procurement to deliver planes for VIPs is going on in Poland. The Ministry of Economy expects another tender: for helicopters for the army, police, duty services, sea services, etc. The plane offset may be, according to Pawel Poncyljusz, deputy Minister of Economy, worth even USD 12 billion. Jointly with the compensation for planes for VIPs it would amount to USD 13 billion.
“We want to prepare well for the negotiations in order to avoid the mistakes done earlier. We plan to implement an offset catalogue and motivate venture capital funds to engage in the offset”, Pawel Poncyljusz said.
Offset companies could, for example, convey funds to the National Credit Fund at BGK state-owned bank. The latter, jointly with venture capital companies would invest the funds in innovative projects.
The Ministry would also like the companies to say what their offset proposals and expectations are.
“We don’t want offset companies to propose projects which they would implement anyway, no matter they are in the offset or not. We want the Polish companies, both state-owned and private ones, to show us what kind of investment they need, show specific partners, etc”, Pawel Poncyljusz added.
