Economic growth accelerated in 2007, led by strong domestic demand and the process of convergence with the EU. The government is undertaking structural reforms in labour markets, education and tax policy to help improve productivity and industrial competitiveness. Poland invests little in R&D (0.56% of GDP in 2006), of which 57.5% is financed by the public sector and only one-third by the business sector. This low R&D intensity reflects a relatively low level of GDP and an industrial structure heavily weighted towards low technology, as well as a low level of R&D in foreign affiliates of multinational firms. It also reflects weaknesses in the framework conditions for innovation and a public research system that is insufficiently linked to industry.
