What does the Monetary Policy Council do?
The Monetary Policy Council (RPP) is the key body of the National Bank of Poland, which is responsible for shaping monetary policy in Poland. It consists of the President of the NBP as chairman and nine members appointed by the President, the Sejm and the Senate. The term of office of an MPC member is six years and cannot be repeated.
The Council annually establishes monetary policy assumptions and presents them to the Sejm. Its duties also include setting NBP interest rates, determining the amount of banks' required reserves and approving the NBP financial plan. The Monetary Policy Council evaluates the activities of the NBP Management Board and selects an auditor to audit the financial statements of the central bank.
