Summary of Financial System Stability Assessment for the Republic of Poland

Core Content

This report is a Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) evaluation of the financial system stability in the Republic of Poland, conducted in 2018 and approved by the IMF and World Bank. It serves as background documentation for the Article IV consultation and outlines key vulnerabilities, resilience, prudential oversight, crisis management, and recommendations for improving the financial system.

Main Findings

Financial System Overview

Poland has a systemically important financial sector, with 36% state ownership.
The banking system shows resilience to adverse shocks, though some medium-sized banks are considered weak.
Solvency stress tests indicate that the CET1 ratio for the commercial banking system would decline from 16% to 13% of risk-weighted assets in an adverse scenario, driven by loan loss provisions, valuation losses on debt securities, and funding and interest rate risks.
Liquidity risk is generally manageable, but cooperative banks are exposed to credit and concentration risks due to their network affiliations.
FX mortgage risks have declined due to higher quality of these loans and buffer building by banks and borrowers, though legislative changes could negatively affect bank earnings.

Macroeconomic Context

Real GDP growth has slowed from 5% in 2018 to a more sustainable 3–3.5% in 2019–20.
Unemployment remains low, and wage growth is high.
Inflation is below the NBP’s target, and fiscal and external vulnerabilities have reduced.
Credit growth is moderate but skewed toward riskier segments such as unsecured consumer lending.

Risk Assessment

Systemic risks could arise from a reduction in cross-border integration or a faster-than-expected tightening in domestic and international financial conditions.
Sovereign-financial institution linkages have increased, which may amplify financial shocks and distort credit allocation.
State ownership has been increasing, with the government acquiring controlling stakes in banks and focusing on strategic management and value maximization.
Solvency and liquidity analyses show that the banking system is resilient, but some banks—particularly medium-sized banks and OSII (Other Systemically Important Institutions)—are more vulnerable.

Prudential Oversight

The PFSA is under-resourced and faces governance challenges.
A new law in 2019 may weaken the PFSA’s independence, as it gives the government majority control over its decisions.
Operational independence and adequate resources are crucial for effective supervision and regulation.
Macroprudential policy is sound but untested, with a range of instruments available, though the toolkit needs further development.

Crisis Management and Safety Nets

Crisis management arrangements are generally sound, but improvements are needed.
The Bank Guarantee Fund (BGF) and PFSA need greater independence and enhanced powers to resolve failing banks.
The bankruptcy framework should be improved to allow for timelier action.
Recovery and resolution plans should be required for affiliating banks and significant credit unions.

Cooperative Banks and Credit Unions

There are 553 cooperative banks and 35 credit unions, which together service about 25% of the population.
These institutions are non-systemic but have significant interconnections through two networks.
Affiliating banks are designated as OSII due to their role in the network.
Credit unions face capital adequacy issues and may require consolidation or transformation into cooperatives.

Conclusion

The financial system of Poland is resilient but faces systemic risks from medium-sized banks, state ownership, and FX mortgage exposures. The FSAP highlights the need for improved prudential oversight, data collection, and legal reforms to ensure financial stability and systemic resilience. The recommendations aim to address these issues through enhanced supervision, reforms in taxation, and improved crisis management frameworks.
