"It may trigger another wave of price increases." Bożenaker on the crisis at the National Bank of Poland

Paweł Naszaernaker emphasized that the situation at the National Bank of Poland is currently unprecedented. He explained that the management board of this institution currently consists of 6 members, which is the statutory minimum. The term of office of Vice-President Adam Lipiński expires on November 4, noted the head of President Karol Nawrocki's office. The term of office of the next person - Marta Gajęcka - will expire on January 1, 2027.

From November 5, the management board of the National Bank of Poland will consist of 5 members, unless it is supplemented. This state of affairs is not the result of the inaction of the National Bank of Poland, said Głosernaker. As he added, President Nawrocki also tried to act on this matter. In February, he submitted applications to the Prime Minister to appoint four members of the management board and asked for Donald Tusk's countersignature.

In May, the Prime Minister sent back these applications without a countersignature, reported the head of the presidential cabinet. He also announced that President Nawrocki would now submit these applications again. The people who will be indicated in them are Przemysław Litwiniuk, Ludwik Kotecki, Marcin Zarzecki and Marta Kightley.

In the face of the crisis around the National Bank of Poland, which may shake up public finances, threaten Poland's security, and cause another wave of high prices hitting Polish families, President Karol Nawrocki proposes stabilizing the situation around the Polish currency, Poland's financial credibility in the world and the independence of the Central Bank, he said.
