Summary/Abstract: The aim of this Chapter is to analyze and assess the relationship between two important features of the financial sector: competitiveness and stability. It is crucial to strengthen both the competitiveness and stability of the financial sector in the new globalised and integrated economy. But it is also crucial to take into account during this process the interrelationship between these two categories. The first Section is devoted to the analysis of the competitiveness concept in relation to the financial sector. Section two presents the most important issues connected with the concept of financial sector stability. Section three contains a comparative analysis of the two concepts: financial sector competitiveness and financial sector stability. Section four is devoted to the simple analysis of stability and competitiveness of the Polish financial sector in 2007–2010. The Conclusions contain the most important practical implications of the identified interrelationship between financial sector competitiveness and financial sector stability conceptions.
