Geneza banku centralnego na ziemiach polskich
Genesis of Central Bank on Polish Lands

Summary/Abstract: Initiation into discussion over the need of creation of an institution of issuing bank on Polish lands reach the period of the First Republic of Poland. At that time the idea of establishing of this bank appeared, which – in consequence of difficult political situation of the State – did not come into realization. But one should notice plenty of opinions about it, what resulted in lots of plans of establishing the first Polish issuing institution at that time. Conception of issuing bank on Polish lands materialized only in the Kingdom of Poland (excluding issuing institution from Kościuszko’s Uprising period – Dyrekcja Biletów Skarbowych, and from Duchy of Warsaw period – Komisja do Dyrekcji Biletów Kasowych), thanks to work and efforts of Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki, who contributed to es-tablishment in 1828 of Bank Polski, which is considered to be the first Polish issuing bank. It increased the full economic bossom of Polish lands in spite of the lack of Polish statehood.
