The Supreme Chamber of Control, heading the state control system of Poland, has today a guaranteed and stable systemic position. Its structures and scope of activity are firmly rooted in the Constitution and the SCC Act. We cannot tell what the approaching century will bring. One thing is certain state audit systems will always find employment in Poland, since they make an indispensable component of democracy. In the year 2000 numerous efforts have been made in order to assess the current and future economic status of Poland.
Assessments frequently differ.
On the basis of available data it is already possible to state that one part of macroeconomic parameters assumed for the 2000 budget draft is not going to achieve levels as advantageous as those originally planned. The most difficult economic problems experienced by Poland include excessive deficit in country s balance of payments, persistently high inflation levels and a considerable increase of unemployment rate. Monitoring social development is the task of many institutions concerned with this problem area, including the respective Government agencies, research institutes, university level schools and NGOs. A special role in this field should be ascribed to public statistics. Poland provides an example of an advantageous change in the sphere of improving social statistics for the needs of monitoring social development.
