Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate whether it is possible to successfully forecast market risk in the Polish capital market. To answer this question, daily time series of the stock prices listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange between 2000-2015 are analysed. In the research part of the paper, it is assumed that the analysed time series are the realisation of the GARCH process, which allows the author to model the characteristic properties among the empirical data. The risk is assessed with the use of popular quantile risk measures. Additionally, an attempt is made to establish the optimal method of risk estimation.
