Daniel Obajtek: Not only Saudi Aramco may leave Poland

Saudi Aramco may divest some of its assets in Poland, including shares in the Gdańsk Refinery. This follows a controversial acquisition in 2022, where they purchased significant stakes in Polish companies. Daniel Obajtek, former CEO of Orlen, criticized the current government's regulatory policies, suggesting they create instability in the market. He believes that if Saudi Aramco withdraws, it signals a broader trend of fuel companies leaving Poland due to unfavorable conditions. Obajtek lamented the lost potential for Poland to become a petrochemical hub in Central Europe, emphasizing the importance of Saudi partnerships for energy security. The government has not yet commented on the situation.
