New NBP governor sworn in

The newly elected governor of the central bank, Adam Glapiński, swore an oath on Tuesday in the Sejm, thus he has started his six year tenure. "I will protect the NBP's independence... I will also support the government's economic policy, unless it is at odds with maintaining price stability, which is a core aim of the central bank," Glapiński said at the Sejm. Prior to becoming head of the NBP, Glapiński was a central bank board member and a former member of the Monetary Policy Council (RPP). He also worked as an advisor to late president Lech Kaczyński.
