NIK examines NBP with unprecedented control – Rzeczpospolita has learned. The aftermath of Poland's SAFE 0 percent?

A Polish parliament member has requested an urgent audit of the National Bank's financial reports due to concerns over a stated loss of 100 billion PLN.

Katarzyna Kierzek-Koperska, a member of the Civic Coalition, has initiated a prompt inquiry into the National Bank of Poland (NBP) to audit the accuracy of its financial statements for the years 2022-2025. Her request underscores concerns about the financial implications of the presidential project SAFE 0%, which has been under scrutiny for its controversial effects on the economy. The NBP has consistently reported significant losses, estimated at around 100 billion PLN, leading to calls from parliamentarians for immediate verification of these figures to ensure accurate financial policymaking and accountability.

The inquiry is prioritized by the Public Finance Committee, with an emphasis on urgency to present the outcomes of the audit to the Sejm (Polish Parliament) as quickly as possible. Kierzek-Koperska highlighted the importance of this examination not just for clarity in financial reporting but also for maintaining the financial security of Poland. The scrutiny is particularly relevant in light of recent economic challenges, underscoring the need for transparency in how the NBP manages monetary policy and its reporting practices.

This audit aims to shed light on whether the declared losses are legitimate or if they could potentially disguise deeper issues within the NBP, especially regarding compliance with the monetary policy framework. The outcome of this investigation may significantly influence public confidence in the NBP and its strategies, thus affecting broader economic stability in Poland.
