b.substantial foreign investment
c.difficulty changing to a market economy
d.substantial export growth
Answer:
c.difficulty changing to a market economy
Step-by-step explanation:
The government's inability to avert economic decline with the decline of the Soviet Union led to nationwide strikes in April, May and August 1988, resulting in a political crisis. Finally, in December 1989, the Sejm (lower house) approved the "Balcerowicz Plan" (in reference to Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Leszek Balcerowicz) to transform the planned economy into a free market. The constitution is amended, and the country is renamed "Republic of Poland."
The Republic of Poland in the early 1990s made great progress towards achieving a fully democratic government and a market economy. Shortly afterwards communism fell. In 1990, Poland elected Lech Walesa president. He and other later leaders worked to improve the country's economy. Poland joined the European Union in 2004.
