Session: The Polish financial sector – the leading edge of global financial innovation

The session will present Poland’s achievements in the financial sector – a branch of the Polish economy which was built up almost from nothing in the 25 years of transformation. During this period phenomenal progress has been made that enabled the Polish financial sector to achieve a significant position in comparison with other European and global markets and become an undisputed leader in certain innovative fields, notably in the area of retail payment systems. Poland ranks first in the number of contactless transactions and mobile payments expansion.

The speakers will explain how Poland’s success was achieved and discuss the reasons why the Polish financial market, which is innovative, compliant with internationally recognized standards and secure, can be trusted.

We will be happy to share our experience with you, which we believe will contribute to the development of the financial sectors of those countries that decide to draw inspiration from the Polish example.

Mr Chris Skinner, Chair of Financial Services Club, as a moderator, and
