Summary/Abstract: The entry into force of the Constitution of the Polish Republic in 1997 caused that for the first time the Polish central bank was granted the status of an institution which purpose and functioning were guaranteed by the act of the highest rank. Such determination of the position of the central bank is a particular solution in the world. The issues concerning the central bank were included in the Constitution mainly in order to establish the National Bank of Poland as a central bank with exclusive rights concerning emission and monetary policy. The article presents the key issues of the constitutional regulation of the National Bank of Poland - its legal status and independence, the legal force of normative acts issued by the Bank’s internal bodies and the scope of constitutional amendments which result from the Polish accession to the euro zone.
