WARSAW, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The following are news
stories, press reports and events that may affect Poland's
financial markets on Tuesday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland: GMT + 1
hour):
    
    EU-U.S. TRADE RELATIONS
    EU economy, industry, and trade ministers will meet in
Warsaw on Tuesday to discuss EU-U.S. trade relations, the threat
of U.S. tariffs on EU exports, and how best to combine
industrial and trade policy to strengthen EU competitiveness in
an increasingly volatile world. 
    
    INTEREST RATES
    A two-day meeting of the Monetary Policy Council (MPC) on
interest rates begins on Tuesday. The decision will be announced
on Wednesday and economists expect them to remain unchanged,
including the main rate at 5.75%.
    
    AMERICAN TARIFFS
    If the U.S. imposes tariffs on imports from the European
Union, the Polish economy will suffer less than the economies of
other EU countries. In the first 11 months of 2024, the value of
Polish exports to the United States accounted for only 3.3% of
total exports, Puls Biznesu daily reported.
    
    ASSECO POLAND  ACPP.WA 
    Adam Goral, CEO of Asseco Poland, the largest Polish IT
company, said that after the new investor TSS Europe joined the
shareholding structure, the strategic directions of the group's
development will be maintained, Puls Biznesu reported.
