Poland's Central Bank Warns It Cannot Operate Without a Governor
Narodowy Bank Polski issued an urgent statement clarifying that the Monetary Policy Council cannot function without its governor under Polish law.
WARSAW, Poland — Poland's central bank, Narodowy Bank Polski, issued an urgent public statement Wednesday pushing back against what it described as confusing information circulating about the institution's operations, reaffirming that the bank cannot legally function without a sitting governor.
The NBP cited Article 16 of the Act on Narodowy Bank Polski as the governing framework for how the Monetary Policy Council, known by its Polish acronym RPP, is structured and required to operate. The bank's statement was framed as a clarification of official policy amid apparent public uncertainty over the matter.
