Summary/Abstract: The ongoing discussion of Polish membership of the euro area seems subject to a high degree of uncertainty, caused by dynamically changing conditions. A precise and predictive analysis is therefore hampered and limited to the exploration of pos­sible scenarios. Our study focuses on the economic aspects of decisions on: 1) defini­tive rejection of the single currency in Poland, 2) rapid accession to the euro area, and 3) postponement of Poland’s participation in eurozone. Each of the variants gives rise to different political and economic outcomes and thus sets different paths for the long­term development of the Polish economy.
