Summary: | Diversifying Poland's financial
system to meet new demands while preserving its resilience
and stability is the key task ahead for financial
policymakers. Over the past decade, the financial system has
grown rapidly and risks have been well managed along the
way. To maintain this track record and supply the financial
services needed to support the economy's growth, it
will be important to develop nonbank financial
intermediation, prepare for possible further consolidation
and exit of financial institutions, especially cooperatives,
credit unions (SKOKs), and small banks, and promote a
competitive banking system, relying less on foreign funding.
While these developments will be largely market driven, they
need to be supported by enabling regulatory reform and the
modernization of the financial oversight framework:
supervision focused on risk management, including an
independent systemic risk perspective, strong safety nets,
and state-of-the-art resolution tools will be indispensable.
A joint IMF-World Bank mission visited Poland from February
19 - March 6, 2013 to undertake an update of the Financial
Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) conducted in 2006. This
report summarizes the main findings of the mission,
identifies key financial sector vulnerabilities, and
provides policy recommendations. |
