Poland’s National Bank Governor Adam Glapiński joined finance ministers and central bank heads from G20 nations in Washington for spring meetings.
Poland’s Entry into the G20
The National Bank of Poland (NBP) announced that Governor Professor Adam Glapiński participated in the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting held in Washington D.C. The meeting took place during the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group.
Professor Glapiński stated, “We have entered the G20, the exclusive club of the 20 largest economies in the world. According to nominal GDP, Poland is among these countries. We must maintain and strengthen this position, becoming an even stronger economy and securing a seat at the main table.”
First G20 Meeting Under U.S. Presidency
This marks the first G20 meeting at the ministerial and central bank governor level during the United States’ presidency. The U.S. invited Poland to join the G20 as a full member in December 2025.
Representatives from the NBP and the Ministry of Finance are actively involved in the economic and financial track of the G20’s work.
Agenda Focus: Global Economic Growth and Stability
The meeting’s agenda centers on key conditions for economic growth and global economic stability. Discussions focus on macroeconomic imbalances within G20 economies and the global economy, barriers to growth, and potential reforms to promote stability and long-term development.
Geopolitical Factors and Global Markets
Significant discussion is dedicated to current geopolitical conditions, including the consequences of armed conflicts—particularly the situation in the Middle East—on global energy markets, international trade, and supply chains.
NBP’s Role and International Cooperation
The NBP emphasizes that Governor Glapiński’s participation aligns with the central bank’s mandate and fosters cooperation among central banks within major international forums. It facilitates the exchange of experiences in monetary policy and the assessment of risks to financial stability amid heightened global uncertainty.
Poland’s Engagement in G20 Processes
The NBP highlights the importance of Poland’s participation in the G20’s economic and financial track as a means of integrating into the consultative processes concerning key challenges facing the global economy.
