WARSAW, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The following are significant news stories, press reports and events on Friday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland: GMT + 1 hours):
INNOVATE POLAND PROGRAM
The government will launch the Innovate Poland program, which aims to mobilize a new group of investors in the capital market. PFR Ventures, PZU PZU.WA, and BGK, supported by the European Investment Fund, will participate. According to unofficial information, the fund's value can be estimated at least 8 billion zlotys ($2.20 billion), Rzeczpospolita daily reported.
ETS
Polish energy and industrial companies are calling for changes to the EU's CO2 emissions trading system. In 2024, only four companies - Orlen PKN.WA, PGE PGE.WA, Enea ENAE.WA, and Tauron TPE.WA - spent a total of nearly 45 billion zlotys ($12.37 billion) on purchasing emission allowances, Rzeczpospolita reported.
S&P GLOBAL
Maintaining strong economic growth is crucial for Poland, as its fiscal tightening prospects look slim due to political constraints, the S&P Global ratings agency told Reuters.
KGHM
Polish state-run copper producer KGHM KGH.WA on Thursday reported an 80% year-on-year rise in third-quarter net profit, driven by the strong performance of its Chilean Sierra Gorda mine and higher precious metal prices.
DATA
On Friday at 0900 the Polish statistical office will release inflation data for October. The preliminary reading indicated that last month's price growth rate was 2.8% year-on-year and 0.1% month-on-month.
