Business Arena 05.08

On Friday’s episode, our host Rafał Tomański kicked off the show with our main stories which were: the automotive industry’s chips crisis and the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant – The Energy Bridge will link Poland and Ukraine by the end of the year.

The consequences of the pandemic, the shortages of microchips and other components and now the war in Ukraine are being felt across the auto industry, with production dipping at several manufacturers. Some producers are revising their production estimates for the following months downwards. We discussed a global production cutback that could result in five million fewer vehicles being produced this year and next than planned with Arkadiusz Zaremba, an automotive industry expert.

Also on the programme:

Putting the power line linking the Khmelnytskiy Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine and Poland’s Rzeszów will help boost cross-border electricity trade between the two countries and will allow Ukraine to earn more than one billion euros annually.

Among other topics, we looked at, were:
