How long for one franc have to pay more than four gold? On this question tried to answer Jacek Bartkiewicz, a board member of the NBP, reserving right away that “different analysts estimate it differently.” – I think that in the medium term, this course will be over 4 zlotys – Bartkiewicz said.

While talking to the radio a One economist pointed out that the confusion that arose after the Swiss National Bank released franc against the euro, should calm down a bit after Thursday’s meeting of the European Central Bank.

Banks could eg. To allow them to extend the period of debt. According to the economist such assistance, as well as State aid, it could be also entitled to repaying those loans in US dollars.
