Adopting the single European currency is not a priority for the new Polish government, Finance Minister Paweł Szałamacha has said.

Speaking in Berlin on Tuesday after meeting the finance ministers of France and Germany, Szałamacha said that until problems in the eurozone are resolved, it is difficult for Poland to take a decision about converting to the euro.

Henryk Kowalczyk, a minister in Poland’s conservative Law and Justice government – which was sworn in following October general elections – said last month that current conditions are not favourable for introducing the euro in Poland in the foreseeable future. (pk/rg)
