Mateusz Jakub Morawiecki (born June 20, 1968) is a Polish politician, manager, banker, economist, lawyer, historian.
He is Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Development and Finance in the cabinet of Beata Szydło. He served as chairman of Bank Zachodni WBK from 2007 to 2015.
Mateusz Morawiecki was born on June 20, 1968, the son of Kornel Morawiecki.
At the age of 12, Morawiecki was already active in the fight for freedom in Poland as he became involved in the process of illegal duplication of political pamphlets. In August 1980 he plastered the poster edition of the "Lower Silesia Bulletin" all over the streets of Wroclaw. The print contained a list of the Gdansk Demands as well as a call for a general strike in support of the protests on the northern coast. After martial law was announced, he became a printer and distributor of underground Solidarity magazines. Despite repeated arrests and beatings by the secret police (SB), he continued participating in political demonstrations until the late 1980’s. He was the editor of the "Lower Silesia Bulletin" and an activist of the Independent Students' Association. In 1988 and 1989 he participated in a occupational strike at the University of Wroclaw. He was one of the organizers of the Club for Political Thought "Free and Solidary.
Morawiecki is an alumnus of the University of Wrocław (history, 1992), Wrocław University of Technology (1993), Wrocław University of Economics (business administration, 1995), the University of Hamburg (European law and economic integration, 1995–1997) and the University of Basel (European studies, 1995–1997). While at Wrocław Tech, he studied abroad at Central Connecticut State University and completed the advanced executive program at the Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern University.
