WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's 2025 draft budget will set aside 3.2 billion zlotys ($835.88 million) as a reserve for dealing with natural disasters, the government said on Saturday, after devastating floods wreaked havoc in the country.
The worst floods in at least two decades left many towns in southwestern Poland submerged in the last two weeks, and the government has said it will free up a total of 23 billion zlotys from the budget and European Union funds to deal with the aftermath.
