Senate appoints 3 members of monetary council

The lower chamber of parliament, the Senate, has appointed three new members of the Monetary Policy Council (Rada Polityki Pieniężnej): member of the board of central bank NBP Eugeniusz Gatnar, former Minister of Labor and former President of the city of Łódź Jerzy Kropiwnicki and Marek Chrzanowski, a lecturer from the Warsaw School of Economics. The nominations of all three were supported by the ruling Law and Justice. PO-backed candidate Marek Dąbrowski failed to win a sufficient number of votes.
