Policy work

In my policy work, I engage in collaborative efforts with central banks, regulators, and governments to undertake various projects. One area of focus is the development of resolution frameworks that aim to restore financial stability during times of crises. This involves designing mechanisms and strategies to effectively address and mitigate the impacts of financial instability.

Recently, I had the privilege of serving as an expert for the European Commission, where I evaluated Tax Cooperative Compliance in Poland. This assessment involved examining the effectiveness of tax cooperation initiatives and providing recommendations for improvement. The outcomes of this evaluation were then presented to the representatives of the Ministry of Finance, contributing to the ongoing discussions and decision-making processes in that domain.
Additionally, I have also provided expert advice to the Polish Ministry of Finance in the development of a new bank levy scheme. This entails designing a comprehensive and fair framework for levying fees on banks, considering factors such as risk exposure, systemic importance, and the overall stability of the financial sector.

Through these policy engagements, I aim to contribute to the formulation of effective and impactful measures that promote financial stability, regulatory compliance, and sustainable economic growth.
