The Importance of the Public Sector in Sustainable Development in Poland

Abstract

The striving for sustainable development has become the goal of actions undertaken not only by representatives of public authorities and institutions representing this sector, but also representatives of private entities who are increasingly recognizing the benefits and sources of long-term development based on the principles and objectives of sustainable development. These are mainly based on the pursuit of synergy in the three basic areas of activities, i.e., in the economic, social, and environmental dimensions as well as in the maintenance of natural resources. The implementation of these activities is connected with the necessity of incurring financial expenditures, which the government (public sector) does not have in the required value. Therefore, in the process of sustainable development for which the government is responsible, the active participation of the financial sector (banks) is necessary. Achieving results within the alliance of the concept of sustainable development requires the setting of a kind of contract, the parties of which are the government, society, and financial institutions. The purpose of the conducted research is to indicate by which means the government can stimulate economic growth towards its sustainable development.

“…These goals are ideally geared towards the advancement of the welfare of the citizenry such as infrastructural development, unemployment reduction, revenue generation, as well as fiscal and monetary policies), which benefit the citizenry at large.

The financing of health care in insurance systems and the sustainability of public finances

“…According to IPSAS, long-term fiscal sustainability means the capability of the public sector to perform public tasks and meet financial obligations both now and in the future [IFAC, 2020[IFAC, , p. 2674. Therefore, the aim of stabilising public finance is not the budget balance itself, but to avoid distortions in the public finance sector and to ensure such levels of solvency that will enable effective realisation of public tasks [Alińska et al, 2018]. To quote Wójtowicz [2019, p. 44], ''the sustainability of the public finance (fiscal) sector constitutes one of the conditions of long-term economic sustainability and the stability of the financial system and additionally it is an instrument to achieve sustainable and long-lasting socio-economic development".…”
