REPUBLIC OF POLAND HOUSING PROJECT LOAN AND PROJECT SUMMARY Borrow rs Republic of Poland Executina Ministry of Spatial Economy and Construction of the Republic A&encies: of Poland; BUDBANK Beneficiaries: Approximately 27,000 individual households purchasing homes or flats under mortgage arrangements; private developers, participating municipalities Amounts US$200 million equivalent Terms: Seventeen years, including a four-year grace period, at the Bank's standard variable interest rate. Relendina Terms: BUDBANX's Mortgage Fund would finance up to 80 percent of the value of mortgages issued by the participating banks at a variable interest rate at least 300 basis points above the Basic Interest Rate of the National Bank of Poland. Repay- ment would be linked to the cashflow of the underlying indexed mortgages. Proiect To support the transition from heavily subsidized, centrally Obiectivess controlled housing production to more efficient, market- based supply through private initi$tive. The project objectives are: (i) creation of banking services to finance mortgages; (ii) greater private sector role in housing production; (iii) incentives to split existing cooperatives into smaller home-builder associations; (iv) competitive bidding for construction contracts; (v) pricing of land as part of housing costs; (vi) removal of legal and regulatory constraints to private initiative; and (vii) greater efficiency in the use of scarce local Government resources. Proiect A Line of credit for Mortaaaes: To alleviate the risks of pescrihtion: long term-lending when inflation is high and volatile, the mortgage instrument would be one that charges a variable market rate of interest while regularly adjusting payments to changes in nominal wages (a Dual Index Mortgage or DIM). When payments are less than amortization due, the unpaid part would be added to the loan balance to be paid off over the lifetime of the loan. The onlending banks, therefore, should be able to bridge the resulting liquidity gap. The special credit program supported by the proposed loan would finance some 27,000 dual index mortgages. - il - A Line of Credit for Construction: A line of credit (up to three years) would finance construction of about 15,000 new dwelling unlt- in projects to b- carried out by developers. Costs may include civil works, land, smaller infrastructure and worklng capltal. A first-year pipeline of sample sub- projects has been identified in fourteen cltiea throughout the country with an estimated aggregate cost of US$210 mlllion. Technical Aseistance: The principal reciplents of Technical Assistance would be: i) the Mortgage Fund; Li) the Project Unit within the Ministry of Spatial Economy and Construction; iii) participating banks willing to engage in mortgage lending; and iv) municLpalitLes undertaking reform of land use practices, financial management and urban infrastructure planning. Benefitg and The principal benefits of the project would be efficiency Rieks: galns from a market-based system of housing production and finance. The project would contribute to the recovery and restructuring of the sector and would increase mobility and choice in the housing market. Competitivepricing would stimulate productivity and help contain unit costs. Additional benefits would accrue from the extenslve program of technical assistance to local governmente, banks and investors. The project's principal beneficiarieswould be families of middle and lower-middle income. The project has been designed to offset the following rikes: (L) relatively high inflation rates and slow growth in real Lncome would be neutralized by the mortgage instrument; (ii) interest rate subsidies would be eliminated to protect development of market-baoed housing finance; (iii) inexperiencedbanking inetitutions,central and local administrations,and private investors would receive technical assistance to apply new policies, instruments and procedures; (iv) escalating constructloncosts should be contained through price competition so as to preserve affordabilityto the original target group; and (v) obsolete municipal regulations would be revised to encourage private initiatlve. - itii - Prolect Costs: Local

Lichański EDITORIAL * Lector Benevole! W roku 2020 Redakcja zdecydowała, iż cały rocznik, podzielony na cztery tomy, zostanie poświęcony tematowi RETORYKA I MANIPULACJA. Retoryka rozu- miana jest zgodnie z tradycją Marka Fabiusza Kwintyliana [QUINT., V.10.54]; gorzej jest z drugim terminem. Może on być pojmowany, jak sugeruje Bernd Wirkus2, dwojako: „neutralnie” bądź „pejoratywnie”. Kwestie te będą dookreślane i w poszczególnych tomach, i w poszczególnych rozprawach. Redaktorzy tomów starali się, aby szczególnie drugie z pojęć zostało precy- zyjnie dookreślone. Jest to niezwykle istotne, bowiem z manipulacją mamy do czynienia w zasadzie wszędzie. Jak pokazał choćby Harry G. Frankfurt w studium On bullshit (O wciskaniu kitu), pewna specyfi czna odmiana manipulacji rozple- niła się we wszystkich dziedzinach naszego życia, acz głównie dotknęła sfery publicznej (media, polityka, dziennikarstwo). Chodzi o sytuację, gdy dla efektu pominięta zostaje w dyskursie kwestia prawdy (lub kłamstwa). Tom pierwszy zawiera studia, które są poświęcone różnym aspektom tegoż zjawiska. Studium Jakuba Z. Lichańskiego Nieintencjonalne manipulowanie przeka- zem naukowym. Cz. I: Jak powstaje manipulowanie przekazem. Na przykładzie tzw. narracji tożsamościowych, gdy nie rozpoznajemy porównań jako elementów rozumowań retorycznych.
