10.03.2010
The Polish banking services market is fully developed and investors can rely on receiving full support for their business activities in Poland. At present, a large number of well -established organisations operate on this market. These include Polish banks, as well as some of the largest global banking institutions. All in all, there are now 90 entities providing banking services for the mass market and the corporate sector.
Currency and foreign exchange market
The currency effective in Poland is the zloty (zł or PLN), which is divided into 100 grosz. Since 2000, and particularly since Poland joined the European Union in 2004, a systematic rise has been noted in the value of the zloty against foreign currencies. This is a very significant trend: since 2000 the value of the zloty against the dollar has increased by more than 40% and against the euro by more than 20%.
