In brief

• President Karol Nawrocki appointed four members of the NBP Management Board.
• Marta Kightley will become the first deputy to NBP President Adam Glapiński.
• The nominations required the prime minister's countersignature, which Donald Tusk granted on Tuesday after a May dispute.
• Two of the nominees had until now sat on the Monetary Policy Council (RPP), so the council will need to fill those seats.

Personnel context at the central bank

The most visible change concerns the post of first deputy president. Przemysław Litwiniuk joins the board as a member and vice president (Koniec sporu o nominacje do zarządu NBP. Prezydent zdecydował – Money.pl). Ludwik Kotecki also takes a seat on the board; until now both men sat on the Monetary Policy Council (Nowi członkowie zarządu NBP. Prezydent zdecydował – Rzeczpospolita).

The prime minister's role

The appointments could not take effect immediately, because they required the countersignature of the head of government. In May Donald Tusk did not sign the orders concerning Kightley and Kotecki, which started the conflict over the central bank (Prezydent powołał czworo członków zarządu NBP. Koniec sagi trwającej od maja – Puls Biznesu).

Impact on the Monetary Policy Council

The move of two RPP members to the board means their seats on the council must be filled. One of the nominations is to be finalised only at the beginning of next year (Wielkie zmiany w NBP. Karol Nawrocki podjął ostateczną decyzję – fakt.pl).

The board after the changes

Marcin Zarzecki also joined the board (Kryzysu w NBP nie będzie. Prezydent postawił "kropkę nad i" – wnp.pl). The arrangement shows that the central bank's staffing, after months of disputes, has been closed out in a single package of decisions.
