WARSAW, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The Polish government will cut its official 2009 growth forecast to a preliminary 3.8 percent from 4.8 percent, a senior source at Prime Minister Donald Tusk office told Reuters.
"Growth in 2009 will be revised to 3.8, the final decision depends on the Finance Minister. It will definitely not be 4.0 or 3.5, preliminarily it was decided it will be 3.8," the source said.
The government will also cut budget expenditures by up to 2 billion zlotys in order to keep the planned budget deficit at 18.2 billion zlotys.
