In mid-September, increased cash withdrawals were observed after the violation of Polish airspace by drones, wrote the National Bank of Poland in a report on the stability of the financial system.


The NBP reported that within two days the total value of cash in circulation increased by approximately PLN 5.1 billion. The situation stabilized after two days and the withdrawal amounts decreased, but remained at an increased level for the next few days.
NBP reports that this was another episode of this type (after the experiences during COVID-19 and immediately after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine), which confirms the need for banks to maintain readiness to meet the increased cash needs of society.
