• Polish banking sector relatively unaffected mainly because of:

– Traditional banking business model

– Negligible exposure towards subprime-backed securities

• Intended to be a ‘last resort’ instrument for banks that cannot hedge their open FX position elsewhere • Therefore, relatively tight pricing conditions ( example as of 15 April 2009) 1W FX swaps: – PLN : NBP reference rate – a bp – FX interest rate: LIBOR 1W + b bp – Haircut on spot exchange rate: (EUR/PLN 5%, USD/PLN 7%, CHF/PLN 5%) 1M FX swaps: – PLN interest rate: 1M WIBID – x bp – FX interest rate: LIBOR 1M + y bp – Haircut on spot exch ange rate: ( EUR/ PLN: 10% , US D/ PLN: 1 5%)

31 NBP’s FX swaps

• As it was intended, used by a small group of banks which cannot hedge the FX risk with their parent entities or other counterparties • As a result, limited turnover

42 Macroeconomic channel

• The macroeconomic forecasts are changing very rapidly, often downward revisions of future GDP growth • Decoupling hypothesis might fail • Real economy relies on export revenues from EU (78% of export flows to EU countries ) • Increasing probability of credit risk materialization

43 Macroeconomic channel macro stress test

• Designed to determine the vulnerability of the Polish banking sector to unfavourable changes of external conditions

• Baseline scenario - GDP projection prepared for the February 2009 edition of "Inflation Report"

• The "shock" scenario - much stronger economic slowdown in US and strong economic recession in euro area (the growth of GDP in Poland is 4-5 percentage point lower than in baseline scenario).

44 Macroeconomic channel macro stress test

Baseline scenario • Strong increase in loan losses, but still on comparable level with that during the economic slowdown of the years (2001-2002), • Hypothetical losses originating from the impaired loans portfolio could be absorbed by almost all of the banks (the capital adequacy ratio in three small banks would fall below 8%). The " sh ock" scenar io • Loan losses more than double over the simulation horizon as compared with the baseline scenario, • Number of banks with the capital adequacy ratio below 8% increase, but the value of hypothetical recapitalization is still insignificant in relation to banks’ asset s.

46 Capital channel

• Despite losses incurred by many parent-entities, majority of Polish banks decided to assign the 2008 profits for increasing own funds.

• Some bkbanks rece idived sub bdidlordinated loans f rom th hieir parent enti iities

47 Indirect market channel

• Decreased liquidity of markets for instruments used for market risk hedging. As a result impeded market risk management • However, banks have the possibility to enter into FX swaps transactions with the NBP (Confidence Pt)Pact) • Increase in global risk aversion affected the PLN exchange rate. Depreciation of zloty was stronger than it would emerge from fundamental factors
