Who will succeed Balcerowicz as NBP president?
For the time being these candidates have poor chances of being appointed to the post, as the first two lack political support, while Kluza is too young. This means the best placed candidates are those from Law and Justice (PiS): Urszula Grzelonska, professor from the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH), and Slawomir Skrzypek, deputy chairman of PKO BP. According to Marcin Mróz, chief economist with Fortis Bank, a good candidate should be known for his plans, or at least opinions on monetary policy. However, most experts believe that in the current economic climate, monetary policy should be handled by a specialist rather than a politician. (Rzeczpospolita, pp.A1, B1) M.M.
