In 1989 the workforce in industry accounted for over 30 percent of the total in Warsaw, today it is about 18 percent. Embarking on a market economy has meant a severe shock for Warsaw`s industry, in terms of the loss of its previous export markets, the reorientation of production, and the large-scale exodus of its personnel to other sectors.
Warsaw`s inner-city industrial precincts amount to 37.9 percent of its total surface area within the Centrum Borough's total area - a concentration unprecedented in Western European centre-city areas. This heritage of communist town planning has in fact becoming an advantage: it offers space forconstruction projects in excellent central locations.
The number of state - owned enterprises is regularly decreasing and the number of companies with foreign capital growing. The largest foreign investors are Daewoo,Coca Cola Amatil and Metro AG.
Warsaw has the biggest concentration of electronics and high-tech industry in Poland and the growing consumer market perfectly fosters the development of the food-processing industry.
