Summary/Abstract: In the article issues are addressed concerning the appointment and removal of the President of the National Bank of Poland. This is a question for the body, which in terms of stage III of integration into the Economic and Monetary Union will play a crucial role. In addition, the President of the NBP is the legal person who, under the law is an element in the integration of the various bodies and authorities and entities operating on the wider financial market. Therefore, it is appropriate to take considerations in this regard. Analysis of the Polish regulations contained in the Constitution and the law on NBP made in the article indicates far-reaching problems not only with unintelligible, but indeed with imperfect regulations relating to the appointment and removal of the President of the NBP. The issues selected and discussed should depict the need for revision of the statutory regulations so as to ensure the implementation of this function by the person with the highest competence and experience. In the article proposals have been made to formulate de lege lata and de lege ferenda, showing that the continuation of these provisions can lead to significant problems of interpretation.
