VOICED: Poland a shopper's paradise -- for Lithuanians

In Suwalki, Poland, vendors are experiencing increased business due to the depreciation of the Polish zloty compared to the strong euro in Lithuania. This currency difference encourages Lithuanians to shop across the border, saving significant amounts on purchases. The influx of Lithuanian shoppers has boosted sales for Polish vendors, with some seeing a tenfold increase in customers. This economic activity is contributing to Poland's economic growth, which is expected to rise by 2-4% despite a recession in Europe.
