Former central bank in Poland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about Poland's central bank during the interwar period. For the 19th-century bank, see Bank Polski. For other uses, see Bank of Poland.
Bank Polski SA, full name Bank Polski Spółka Akcyjna (lit. 'Bank of Poland Joint-stock Company'), sometimes referred to as the "Second Bank of Poland" to distinguish it from its 19th-century namesake, was the central bank of the Second Polish Republic. It was founded in 1924 and operated until the invasion of Poland in 1939, after which it relocated to London together with the Polish Government in Exile. In liberated Poland, it was replaced in 1945 by the National Bank of Poland, and was eventually liquidated in 1952.
