“The financial system is stable and the risk balance is improving," the National Bank of Poland (NBP) said in its periodic Financial Stability Report released on Friday.
It added that "the current assessment and prospects for the stability of the domestic financial system have improved," while "the level of capital in the banking sector is sufficient to cover potential losses resulting even from extreme macroeconomic scenarios."
Polish banks "also show high resilience to liquidity risk," according to the report.
International ratings agency S&P Global this month affirmed Poland's "A-" long-term foreign-currency credit rating, with a stable outlook, as economies struggle with the fallout from Russia's war against Ukraine.
The agency highlighted "Poland's monetary policy credibility, its external competitiveness, and growth," according to the Polish finance ministry.
S&P Global said that "financial stability in the Polish banking sector has strengthened over the past year" and that Poland's economy "has demonstrated its resilience to recent external shocks like the Russia-Ukraine war."
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, starting the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II.
Friday is day 653 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
