Przegląd Odlewnictwa 9-10/2020

Autumn has come. Unfortunately, the world is still battling the ongoing coronavirus epidemic. It ongoing attacks are destroying expectations for its quick and effective control. This situation visibly and painfully affects the economy, and is associated with the return of restrictions that hinder daily activities. Difficulties in implementing the plans, which gave hope that it would be possible to make up for the losses caused by the restrictions introduced in the first half of this year as soon as possible, occur. However, this is not the case. With all this, negative forecasts worsen, which effectively contributes to worse moods.

These facts are also confirmed by the information provided by almost all EU countries and leading countries in the world. It is difficult to imagine that, despite the indisputable efforts of medical services and state authorities, the economy will suffer losses and will have to cope without the financial aid of the state. There will be no such possibility. The need to postpone the dates of technical conferences, international fairs, etc. planned from October is not very promising.

We dream that the latest bad information will be the last, that it will change the losing streak and give faith for the coming months. We must hope. Looking to the future with confidence, we have published another issue of Przegląd Odlewnictwa. In this issue, Dear Readers, you will find:
