When investing in foreign exchange reserves, Narodowy Bank Polski is primarily guided by the criteria of their safety and level of liquidity. Only after meeting these requirements does NBP strive to maximise the long-term return on the assets. NBP invests the foreign exchange reserves in typical instruments used by central banks. The bulk of the reserves are invested in Treasury securities, which are characterised by the highest degree of safety and liquidity. NBP also invests in non-government debt securities as well as investment fund units, thus achieving a diversified exposure on the global equity market. A small part of the reserves are held in the form of short-term deposits at banks with a high credit standing.
