Summary/Abstract: Sovereign wealth funds (SWF) have become important investors in the global economy. However, they are not only a source of capital but also instruments of foreign policy. From Poland’s point of view, cooperation with such funds can be beneficial in, for example, the realisation of an investment, such as infrastructure, as well as in the development of a capital market. Nevertheless, some challenges related to these funds must be considered, such as the frequent lack of transparency. There is also debate in Poland about the creation of the country’s own wealth fund. It can be used for investing abroad and attracting other funds for projects in Poland.
