Poland's ongoing political volatility will continue to create policy and economic uncertainty leading up to the presidential election in mid-2025. If this persists after the election, it could have long-term negative effects on the country's appeal to investors. On Aug. 9, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that six months of investigations had revealed widespread financial abuse by the previous government, led by the right-wing Law and Justice, or PiS, party. According to Tusk, investigators have found that about 100 billion zloty (about $25 billion) of expenditure between 2016 and 2023 may have been "spent illegally" and promised to "catch all those who abused power and robbed the Polish state." The next day, PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski announced the launch of a website that allows people to anonymously report cases of Tusk's government violating the law.
