Credit crunch risk in Poland and the tax on banks: recommended countermeasures

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the essence of the credit crunch phenomenon, its effects on businesses and the whole economy. It indicates the relationship between the level of bank capital and the occurrence of a credit crunch. The high operating costs of banks in Poland can lead to a reduction in their capital, and consequently, to a limitation of the supply of bank credit in the market. One of the factors contributing to the reduction of bank capital in Poland is the high bank tax compared to that in other countries. In order to reduce the risk of a credit crunch in the Polish market, it is recommended to abolish or reduce the bank tax during periods of high inflation.
