Investment advice - my options in Poland?

That's...well...rubbish.

Could be a sign that they aren't really interested in PLN deposits...

Of course, I mentioned the average rate for typical deposit, like 20.000-50000 PLN


Possible, if the amount exceeds 100.000 PLN.


Not so bad, after all. I put some money onto one year lock in PKO BP and got 5%. If I put more, I could get 5.5%.

However, adding inflation and Belka tax deductions, you are actually in the red after one year when dealing with banks.

That 3.9% from Citibank was for amounts over 10,000; for amounts under that (but over 500zl) it's 3.8%.

Zinc buy yourself a piece of property with that as a down payment and stop paying attention to this dumb watermelon headed nincompoops!


I have one legally with american plates in usa and drive it(took it as an antique over 25 yrs old its 1976.

What are the EURO currency investment options in Poland?

Are there any investments opportunities in Euro? Bank Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds etc?

There are some investments priced in euros but if you want to invest only euros it begs the question why limit yourself to Poland and not the Eurozone, where your options will be much greater and more liquid. If you mean you want to make an investment in Poland, betting on growth in Poland, but want it priced in euros, again you are limiting yourself. The best thing to do would be to find an investment in Poland that suits you, which will be in zloty. You can then hedge the currency risk by using a currency option if you wish. The EURPLN rate is pretty stable so you can buy 1 year options which you can renew each year for low premiums. Alternatively you can invest in a currency hedged Polish investment fund.

Small-Scale Investment in Poland?

Hello,
I'm trying to get my head around on what kind of small investment i could do in Poland. Im thinking about investing in a dzialka(plot) but im not sure if ill get a yield after couple of years or investing in Real Estate in general as I can only invest 90-100K PLN. The other thing i'm interested in is the Restaurant Business or like a Greek/ Mexican Tortilla shop with little seating capacity and mostly takeaway or how about the ice cream business in the summer time?

This is something i wish to open in Bialystok or the proximity of this area. I've been thinking about all of this for a while so i just want to watch my step

Any suggestions will be appreciated?
Thank You

Honest opinion - for that money buy some kind of truck, a bunch of gardening tools, learn something about gardens or driveways or decking and do that. There is more and more demand for this, less and less people on the market, and if it does not work out you can easily sell the truck on the tools and try something else.

All The other businesses that you have suggested have high fixed costs, quite high competition, a lot of tax and regulation, and very seasonal..

That's not a bad idea but with snow and stuff we could not even see a garden for months. I mean you wouldn't go outside to sit on decking for half a year unless you were siberian or something.

@Classy Sassy
It is really over saturated in Bialystok and I'm not sure about the sales I'll have in a month

@cms neuf
I'm not sure about landscaping and especially in Bialystok. I do know that in Sweden and Norway they earn heck a lot in this business. All I'm looking for is a stable regular inflow of income every month

I'm not talking about landscaping - just basic stuff like clearing weeds, building decking, making a plot clear for a garden etc. Whenever I want that kind of service it takes a week to find anyone and another 2 weeks for them to arrive. Home ownership is increasing and many Poles are having gardens for the first time.

If I want a kebab or an ice cream or a coffee shop I can think of at least 10 options for each within 20 minutes drive. So you would need to give a reason to visit your place and not the others.

Gardening is just an example - there are probably many other manual trades which are in high demand right now. As I said all you really need is a second hand Navarra and a few tools and a laptop and phone plus a few workers. Fitting out a food place will cost you at least 1000 zloty per sqm and probably more if you do it properly.

You certainly won't get that in the food industry in Poland, and 90/100k in property won't give you much of a return.

Ok, so real estate and restaurant are off the list. Any other proposals?

Not much you can do with a ton without getting your hands dirty with a day job, certainly if someone is looking for a living wage from it. But looking at it realistically, there are a few blue chip Polish companies you can invest in which provide a good yield sometimes. You can be looking at yields of up to 7% and a healthy return of capital if your horizon is 5 years or more. There really isn't much else you can do if you want to stay relatively liquid. If however you have a skill associated with construction, light building work, utilities or decoration, there is plenty of work for good tradesmen going in the big cities.
