Boost for Polish reforms
NZPA-Reuter Warsaw Poland’s faltering economic reform programme has been boosted with the Communist Party’s appointment of National Bank president, Wladyslaw Baka, as the country’s economic overlord. Mr Baka’s appointment on Tuesday as a Politburo
member and Central Committee Secretary responsible for economic policy stunned observers at the end of a two-day Central Committee plenum summoned to “deepen” a reform process which was launched last northern autumn. Mr Baka is one of the fathers of economic re-
forms that the Communist leader, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, has tried to push through. Under Poland’s political structure, his new posts will give him unrivalled control over economic policymaking and administration.
The latest reforms launched last northern
autumn have been slow to get under way, and Mr Baka is expected to work well with the Deputy Premier, Zdzislaw Sadowski, a former colleague of his, who is responsible for implementing them. Mr Baka was Mr Sadowski’s boss as Minister for Reforms from 1981-85.
