National Bank of Poland faces board crisis as President resubmits nominations
President Karol Nawrocki is resubmitting nominations for four members of the National Bank of Poland (NBP) board to Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The proposed candidates are Marta Kightley, Ludwik Kotecki, Przemysław Litwiniuk, and Marcin Zarzecki.
The move follows a previous rejection in May, where the Prime Minister returned the nominations without countersignature. This ongoing dispute between the President and the Prime Minister has created a potential leadership crisis at the central bank.
If the vacancies are not filled, the NBP board is expected to fall to five members on November 5, following the expiration of Vice President Adam Lipiński's term on November 4, 2026. This would place the board below the legally required minimum of six to eight members, excluding the president.
