Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the systemic foundations of the functioning of official statistics and the central bank. The research is based on the analysis of regulations outlined in the Official Statistics Act and relevant provisions of The Act on the National Bank of Poland. Both the conducting of statistical research and developing monetary and banking statistics, balance of payments and establishing an international investment position require a close collaboration between these two institutions, which also happen to be the largest data ‘reservoirs’ under the Polish legal system. A rational legislator acknowledges the necessity to coordinate the activity of the President of Statistics Poland and the President of the National Bank of Poland in the realm of statistical research. This collaboration is bilateral, based on clearly defined competences and other statutory tasks. It also allows the use of statistical data collected, stored and maintained by both institutions and the fulfillment of their constitutional obligations.
