PiS summons banks' CEOs over fees hikes

Poland's ruling party Law and Justice has summoned heads of commercial lenders over banks' services fees increases following the passing of a bank tax law. "We would like to know why banks are introducing such sharp price increases," Andrzej Jaworski, PiS MP told private broadcaster TVN24, adding that they may breach the law as the bill on bank tax forbids such practices. In February, CEOs of several banks, including state-owned PKO BP, will be interviewed by the public finance commission.
