Journal Title: Studia Prawno-Ekonomiczne - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
In recent years in Poland there is a discussion taking place on the stability and effectiveness of the banking sector activity. The aim of the paper is to join the ongoing discussion and to search the answer to the question: what factors determine the changes in the financial position of the banking sector in Poland, and how? The knowledge of this issue is necessary for finding the solutions to improve stability of the banking sector and, consequently, the stability of the financial system and economic growth. The paper shows that commercial banking sector in Poland has a stable and strong capital base, above the minimal requirements, that is systematically improving. From the standpoint of capital adequacy commercial banks are prepared for worsening of the conditions of their activity. Last year, however, commercial banks operating in the Polish market achieved worse financial results than previously. Their profitability ratios decreased as well. There are threats looming on the horizon that may cause significant changes in the results of their activity. Earnings, being a fundamental source of growth of capital resources and bank’s stability, are falling due to decreasing interest and non-interest margins. Under low interest rates in the nearest future there are no perspectives for slowing down this unfavourable tendency and thus a fall in profitability of the banking sector should be expected.
