Poland's Monetary Policy

check

The main objective of Poland's monetary policy, as implemented by the National Bank of Poland, is to maintain price stability. The bank follows an inflation target of 2.5% (+/- 1 percentage point) to preserve the purchasing power of the Zloty and support economic growth.

The National Bank of Poland uses several tools to manage inflation, primarily adjusting the reference rate, which influences the interest rates on loans and deposits. It also uses open market operations to control the money supply.

The Polish Zloty is divided into 100 groszy. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 groszy, and 1, 2, and 5 zloty. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 zloty.

Polish Zloty banknotes and coins feature a variety of designs, including images of historical figures and national symbols. For example, the 100-zloty note showcases the portrait of King Władysław II Jagiełło.
