Foreword

President
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is with great pleasure that I present you with another edition of the Technical Cooperation
(TC) Catalogue of Narodowy Bank Polski.
In recent years, technical cooperation has become an increasingly important dimension
of relationships among central banks. It is a useful platform for exchanging professional
experience, promoting best practices, sharing ideas and exploring new ways of working
together. It is also an important instrument to build the capacity of central banks
of developing and transition countries.
Recognising this fact, Narodowy Bank Polski started providing technical cooperation
to other central banks already in the late 1990s and intensified this activity following
Poland’s accession to the European Union in 2004. Under the TC programme, NBP
has already provided technical cooperation to 39 institutions from Africa, Asia, the
Commonwealth of Independent States and South Eastern Europe, which have participated
in various training schemes and expert cooperation, also in the form of twinning projects.
Since 2005, roughly 2 765 delegates have taken part in 598 events.
Based on our many years’ experience as a technical cooperation provider as well as feedback
from TC partners, we decided to reshape our TC programme by offering closer cooperation
to priority central banks which will be entitled to use a broadened and more intense form
of bilateral cooperation with NBP in the form of comprehensive and long-term support
in a specific area of central banking. The new Narodowy Bank Polski Technical Cooperation
Programme 2016+, which has recently been adopted by the NBP Management Board,
contains strategic objectives, as well as the forms and directions of our future activities
in the area of technical cooperation. The most important parts of the document will be
presented to your attention soon.
The Technical Cooperation Catalogue for 2016 is shaped by the feedback we received from
the participants who have attended our seminars and workshops in recent years. In order
to take into account their needs, observations and suggestions, we decided to focus on
issues relating to the key areas of the central bank’s activities, such as monetary policy,
cash circulation, the payment system and financial risk management. At the same time,
we decided to continue seminars and workshops on NBP’s international cooperation,
human resources management and telecommunications security, since these TC activities
have also met with great interest and very positive feedback from participants. Besides, we
put much more emphasis on the practical rather than theoretical aspect of our activities.
I hope our Technical Cooperation Catalogue will be of interest to you and your colleagues
in the bank.
I look forward to welcoming you to Warsaw.

About Narodowy Bank Polski Technical Cooperation Programme
About Narodowy Bank Polski
Technical Cooperation Programme
Narodowy Bank Polski Technical Cooperation Programme is addressed to officials
representing central banks and institutions with competences similar to NBP tasks from
developing and transition countries outside the European Union.
The main goal of the programme is to exchange NBP’s knowledge, views and experience
on various aspects of central banking with external partners and to support the development
of institutional capacities of the cooperating institutions. Within the programme, we aim
to stimulate open discussion and build long-term relationships among participants, thus
contributing to establishing working relations within the central banking community.
The Technical Cooperation programme is carried out by the NBP experts, all having handson experience on the relevant topics, in cooperation with partners from other domestic
institutions such as the Polish Ministry of Finance, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority,
the Polish Security Printing Works, the Mint of Poland, the Warsaw Stock Exchange, Bank
Gospodarstwa Krajowego (Poland’s only state-owned bank), etc.
The technical cooperation in the coming years will be conducted within the new Narodowy
Bank Polski Technical Cooperation Programme 2016+, which has been recently adopted by
the NBP Management Board. Our ambition is to make the whole programme as effective
as possible through enabling its participants to address the real challenges they face
to the best of our means and competence. After having updated our strategic objectives,
we will focus on those priority central banks with which we would implement long-term
cooperation projects.
In accordance with this programme, our activities will be addressed mainly to central
banks of the following groups and countries:
■■
■■
■■
members of the constituency in the IMF and the World Bank Group: Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan1,
Eastern Partnership countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova
and Ukraine,
candidate countries for the EU accession: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia,
Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey2.
Within its Technical Cooperation Programme, NBP offers a whole range of activities.
All partners may use the opportunity to participate in:
■■
seminars,
■■
workshops,
■■
telephone and e-mail consultations.
The Catalogue presents the programme of seminars and workshops only.
A special offer is addressed to priority beneficiaries mentioned above. They may benefit
from:

experts visits – visits of NBP experts to other central banks,
orizontal programmes – cooperation in several different fields, mainly in the
h
form of study visits and expert visits planned over several years and structured to
complement and strengthen each other as well as to contribute, to the greatest extent
possible, to an improvement in the functioning of the partner bank as a whole,
t hematic packages – tailored-made offer of cooperation that takes the form of a variety
of scheduled activities dedicated to one theme,
twinning projects.
To date NBP has organised various successful training schemes and a few twinning projects.
From 2005 to the end of 2015, NBP organised altogether more than half a thousand
projects within the programme, including 437 bilateral cooperation activities (e.g. study
visits, internships and expert visits). A total of 2 765 participants representing 39 countries
completed training at NBP in that period.

We are proud that a number of partners have decided to implement some of NBP’s practices
(i.e. building a structural inflation forecasting model, operational risk management,
economic educational projects).
Every year Narodowy Bank Polski attempts to enhance the quality of its technical
cooperation activities. That is why participants’ opinions and their feedback are crucial
in this process.

Participants’ opinions
I will recommend this workshop to my colleagues because it helps to understand modelling
and theoretical aspects of economy. Good balance between theory and practice. Professional
lecturers and well-organized course. Excellent!
I found the workshop very useful – especially detailed explanation of derivations of RBC
model equations and some of NK models.

Although, in substance, the course is intended to be an
introduction to Bayesian econometrics, it is not an introduction
to mathematical methods. Hence, working knowledge
of linear algebra, calculus and statistical multivariate analysis
is assumed. Moreover at least a superficial acquaintance with
books like G. Koop, Bayesian Econometrics, or T. Lancaster,
An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics, would
strengthen your learning from the course.

It is really useful for staff involved in FX reserve management: front office, risk management
and internal audit.
I will recommend this workshop to my colleagues because it raises very important questions
and provides participants with a practical and theoretical knowledge.
This workshop is very useful because it gives a good insight into different aspects of FX reserves
management, covers recent development in global markets and gives an insight into other
central banks’ reserve management attitudes.
I have learnt a lot about the NBP reserve management strategy. The educational game was
in my opinion also enjoyable and beneficial.

I want to underline that this is one of the rare seminars designed especially for international
relations experts from central banks and should be held regularly as a unique opportunity
to share our knowledge.
The discussed topics are one of the most important issues of my work. I was keen to get
familiar with the methods and organization of work in NBP. The information I gained will
be very useful in my further work.
I really widened my horizon on procedures concerning technical cooperation.
I would say that this seminar might help us to avoid some challenges in the future by applying
the relevant experience of NBP.

I would recommend this workshop to my colleagues so that they can improve their seasonal
adjustment knowledge background and share experience with other countries. Also I would
like to remark the professional skills of the lecturer Ms Sylwia Grudkowska.
It was very useful and was oriented to practitioners not theoreticians. I like that there wasn’t
used too many formulas.
I will recommend this workshop to my colleagues because it is useful to acquire valuable
knowledge about seasonal adjustment. Especially, because lectures included practical
examples. Using a lot of case studies helped me to understand the theory easily.

I will recommend this seminar to my colleagues. Your bank has achieved a very good
organization of work and effectiveness so I think it would be great to take some of your
experiences.
The people who make presentations are closely involved in the practical work in procurement
and it makes presentations close to reality. So they share with us their practical knowledge
which is very useful.
A lot of interesting examples, cases and standards from the European practice. I think that
many of them may be applied in our bank.

Modelling monetary transmission in less developed
emerging markets
Date
5–8 December 2016
Venue
Form
Workshop
Topics
This 3-day course aims to provide empirical skills in modelling
monetary transmission in less developed emerging markets
(LDEMs). This group has a range of features which
undermine New-Keynesian (NK) and DSGE assumptions.
These features are an underdeveloped and shallow financial
market, uncompetitive labour market, informal economy,
weak institutions, problematic central bank independence,
state ownership and controls, and monetary policy targeting
multiple variables.
We propose a complex way of modelling monetary
transmission in LDEMs: structural vector autoregression
models (SVARs) and structural models, capturing such
features as the immature financial market, exchange rate
interventions, and price subsidies, estimated with both
classical and Bayesian methods.
Language
Deadline
for application
4 November 2016
Prerequisites
The course is designed for staff members already dealing
with research and monetary transmission analysis, thus
some knowledge about the main transmission channels
is indispensable. Econometric skills: basic knowledge about
SVARs, Vector Error Correction Models (VECMs), and
Bayesian econometrics. Practical exercises are previewed.

Warsaw – Come by, stay for longer
(prepared by the Social Communication Centre of the City of Warsaw)
Warsaw has been the capital of Poland since 1596. Warsaw is constantly changing for
the sake of its residents, but – above all – because of its residents. Since the explosion
of social activity a quarter of a century ago – at the beginning of the democratic
transformation – the creativity of the city’s residents has set an example for the rest
of the country. Over 10,000 social organisations established by Warsaw’s residents
seek on a daily basis to improve the quality of life in the capital. The city’s authorities
embrace this potential by creating the conditions for unbridled creation, helping
its residents to turn their ideas into reality. You can always sense the atmosphere
of creative tension in the city.
The city provides a wide range of top opportunities in Poland – whether professional,
educational or cultural ones. Three million people live and work in Warsaw. The
city attracts people who are young, dynamic and educated and yet ready to pursue
further education. The capital welcomes those who value unlimited opportunities,
a climate of openness and a cosmopolitan avant-garde.
Warsaw is a leading academic centre with a highly-qualified team of scholars and
teachers as well as 260,000 students, for whom an academic campus with state-of‑the-art laboratories is being developed along the Vistula River.
The Vistula River has been brought closer to the city thanks to the new development
projects along its banks – the Copernicus Science Centre and the Multimedia
Fountain Park.

Warsaw – Come by, stay for longer
A number of modern museums have been opened in Warsaw in recent years.
Following the creation of the Warsaw Uprising Museum and the Chopin Museum,
another new multimedia establishment – the Museum of the History of Polish Jews
– was opened three years ago. The above are just a few examples of the numerous
interesting sites to visit in Warsaw. To see them all, students, tourists and the residents
of Warsaw are increasingly using the modern city bike rental system, which was
introduced in 2012 and comprises over 3,000 bicycles. Cycle paths are also being
extended to the embankment of the Vistula – a “wild” river in the middle of the city
– which is being revamped.
Among European business centres, Warsaw is the most frequently chosen as the new
seat of large international corporations. The city is also a friendly place for small
and medium-sized enterprises and boasts a track record of successful public-private
partnerships.
Warsaw hosts the largest stock exchange of the region. The city has earned the status
of financial and economic centre of this part of Europe and a leading congress and
fair-exhibition centre in Poland.
Warsaw is a city of great people – the hometown of the pianist and composer Frederic
Chopin and the two-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Both spent
their childhood and youth in Warsaw and both spent their adult life in Paris.
Warsaw is a modern and dynamic European metropolis where everybody can relax,
discover beautiful places or simply have fun in its many pubs and clubs.
Every day thousands of people check what’s on offer in the capital on the websites
of Warsaw: www.e-warsaw.pl and www.warsawtour.pl. The capital is also present
on social networking sites such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.
