Zawisza attacks Balcerowicz in Banking Commission

Zawisza accuses Balcerowicz of a conflict of interest with regard to CASE, which is a research institute lead by Balcerowcz's wife. It is supported by donations, also from banks. Zawisza suspects that Balcerowicz as the chief of the Banking Supervision Commission (KNB) took decisions regarding the bank-sponsors of CASE. Balcerowicz replies that it is a lie, as since 1997 he has not attended the foundation board's meetings, and it takes a team to make a decision in KNB, while CASE obtains only 8% of its funds from the banking sector. Zawisza considered Balcerowicz's explanations as an act of war against a Sejm-appointed body.(Gazeta Wyborcza, August 18-19, p.1, Rzeczpospolita, August 18-19, p. B2) J.L.
