Summary/Abstract: In the first half of 2012 financial performance of Polish enterprises weakened, returning to the 2008 levels. Lowest profitability for a couple of years and rising materials and energy costs coupled with shrinking demand suggest that the situation is not going to improve in the forthcoming months. The number of bankruptcies increased in 2012, with one in four of them afflicting the construction industry. Finalized Euro 2012, rising costs of materials and housing industry difficulties contribute to the negative outlook for this sector. Car manufacturing output was the hardes hit among industrial branches. It was due to a major extent to the shrinking exports. The situation of domestic automotive industry can only be improved if the world economy stabilizes. The dynamics of enterprises’ investment outlays is expected to fall, negatively affected by low production capacity utilization and strong demand barriers.
