REVIEW OF MIGRATION STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE NATIONAL BANK OF POLAND: METHODICAL EVOLUTION AND RESEARCH CHALLENGES

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the evolution of migration research conducted by the National Bank of Poland (NBP) in the period 2007-2025 and to identify the main methodological challenges arising under conditions of external shocks. The paper reviews research approaches applied both to Polish emigrants residing abroad and to foreign nationals working in Poland. Particular attention is devoted to methodologies used in studies of immigrants from Ukraine, due to their dominant share in the structure of migration inflows. Data on Ukrainian citizens currently constitute an important component of Poland's balance of payments estimates, including workers' remittances and compensation of employees. The findings highlight the necessity of combining survey data with administrative registers and point to the need for further development of migration research at NBP in the context of a changing geopolitical environment.
