Taking stock of Law and Justice’s first few months in power

Poland’s Law and Justice Party has had a whirlwind first few months in power and, in this Watch, we look at the policies introduced so far. The short point is that fiscal measures have been more or less as expected and changes on the MPC have been more cautious than we had anticipated. However, Law and Justice has surprised us (and many others) through its moves to influence institutions. Ultimately, that could be the most damaging of the lot for the economy, at least over the medium term.
