THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE NATIONAL POLISH BANK IN THE CONTEXT OF THE POLISH CONSTITUTION AND CONSIDERING JUDICAL DECISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL. SELECTED ISSUES

Abstract

This article deals with the legal status of The National Polish Bank, considering 15 years of The Polish Constitution existence. According to constitutional regulation, the central bank and its organs became one of the most important elements of state’s constitutional system.
Although the legal status of The National Polish Bank has changed significantly since The Constitution came into force, the current state cannot be recognised as a final one. During the mentioned period of time, the Statute of The National Polish Bank was issued. Moreover, juridical decisions of The Polish Constitutional Tribunal affected functioning of The National Polish Bank as well. The National Polish Bank meets more and more challenges recently, since it is concerned to be the institution of public trust. However, The National
Polish Bank’s competency has not changed or even become more precised.
