Summary/Abstract: Adequate financial resources are needed to enable local government units to carryout their tasks effectively. An important partner of the local government units is therefore the Bank, which has a corresponding offer. The aim of the study is to diagnose the extent of cooperation between self-governing units and banks over 30 years of activity of local authorities in Poland, on the basis of financial data that illustrate the extent of their demand for the services provided by banks in the context of their growing range of tasks, including chronologically: the emergence of new levels and self-governing units in 1999; Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004, the JST’s obligation to produce a multiannual financial forecast from 2010 onwards; introduction of an individual debt ceiling for JST from 2014
