Special economic award goes to the President of the National Bank of Poland

President Andrzej Duda awarded a special economic award to the president of the NBP, Adam Glapiński, for maintaining the stability of the banking system during the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

"The President of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapiński, and I know how many times we met, how many times the president came to me and said: 'Take it easy, we take control of the situation,' the president recalled.

Adam Glapiński informed that he would seek a second term in this position, but the decision on this matter belongs to the president and the Sejm. In April this year, President Duda said that "the task may be prolonged" which was entrusted to Glapiński.

Adam Glapiński has been the president of NBP since 2016. His first six-year term expires in June 2022. The President of NBP is elected by the Sejm on the president's motion.
