Narodowy Bank Polski is responsible for managing foreign exchange reserve assets, striving to maximize the return of the assets, yet priority is given to ensuring their safety and achieving the necessary liquidity level. NBP invests the funds in typical instruments used by central banks. The bulk of the reserves are invested in Treasury securities and certain amounts are held at securities issued by international institutions and government agencies. A fraction of the reserves are maintained in the form of term deposits at banks with high credit rating and in gold.
