Poland - Factors to Watch on Sept 22

WARSAW, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Here are news stories, press
reports and events to watch which may affect Poland's financial
markets on Tuesday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland GMT + 2 hour):

EU FUNDS

Poland has speeded up spending of European Union (EU) funds
earmarked for the country for 2007-2013 and has signed deals for
projects worth 56.4 billion zlotys, daily Gazeta Wyborcza
reported quoting a report by business lobby Business Centre
Club.

BOURSE STAKE

Goldman Sachs is interested in buying about 5 percent-stake
in the Warsaw bourse, daily Rzeczpospolita reported quoting
unnamed sources.

PGNIG

Poland has no plans to allow for a share issue of
state-controlled gas monopoly PGNiG PGNI.WA, deputy treasury
minister was quoted as saying by daily Rzeczpospolita.

Earlier the monopoly's chief executive said it would be a
good idea to issue new shares that would dilute the state's
holding at the company it sees as a strategic asset for its
energy security.

INFLATION

It may take longer for Polish inflation to return to the
central bank's 2.5 percent target than previously expected, a
member of the bank's Monetary Policy Council (MPC), Marian Noga,
said on Tuesday. [ID:nWAR010914]

NET INFLATION

Poland's central bank releases net inflation data for August
at 1200 GMT. Analysts polled by Reuters expect the figure to
stand at 2.9 percent.

PGNiG INVESTMENTS

Polish gas monopoly PGNiG PGNI.WA wants to invest 400
million zlotys ($141 million) in 2010 on foreign exploration,
twice as much as planned for 2009, its deputy chief was quoted
as saying on Monday. [ID:nLL24174]
