Why does the European Union want to change the treaties? Why are there no convincing arguments for Poland’s entry into the eurozone? What are the pros and cons of artificial intelligence, the prospects of central bank digital money and reverse mortgages? You can read all this and more in the last pre-Christmas issue of the quarterly magazine “Obserwator Finansowy”.
“Financial Observer” is a magazine addressed to economists, financiers, businessmen, but also to economics students and anyone interested in economics. In each issue, readers can expect analyzes of the most important economic topics from Poland and the rest of the world, reports, interviews with specialists in various fields and texts presenting the latest directions and trends in the development of the economy and economic thinking.
The latest issue pays a lot of attention to the European Union. Prof. Tomasz Grzegorz Grosse looks at the changes in the EU treaties and asks whether, almost twenty years after Poland’s accession to the community, this is what we want and what we agree on, or rather – as the President from the NBP, Prof. Adam Glapiński – our desire was a Europe of Homelands, not a federal European state? In turn, Prof. Janusz Bilski and Kamil Goral analyze whether the Polish economy is ready to join the eurozone.
As the imaginations of investors around the world are ignited by the rapid development of artificial intelligence, it is worth considering whether we are witnessing a new speculative bubble. Grażyna Śleszyńska checked it for the readers of “Obserwator Finansowy”. Prof. Jakub Growiec and Dr. Paweł Gąsiorowski answered questions about the future of humanity in the light of technology: what awaits us when AI acquires skills that exceed human competences, for example in all tasks of economic importance? The futuristic picture was completed by Prof. Elżbieta Mączyńska, pointing out the benefits and potential threats of artificial intelligence.
Renata Żak and Prof. Konrad Raczkowski took a closer look at digital currencies. What CBDC is, where it is present and whether it will replace cash payments in the future – we can read about it in the section ‘Central Bank Digital Money’.
In the last quarter you will also find an excerpt of a podcast with Prof. Krzysztof Górski, astronomer and Secretary General of the Copernican Academy, answers the question: what, if not the human brain, determines the limits of the development of science. The entire podcast is available on the “Financial Observer” channel on Spotify after scanning the QR code.
In addition, the 15th issue of the magazine contains many other interesting analyses, texts and interviews, including: on the limits of the development of science in the era of AI, the role of Central Europe and domestic industry, the Polish demography, trade and energy transformation, the economies of Germany, Russia and China.
Financial observer
The printed quarterly magazine “Obserwator Finansowy” is a new form of the website Observerfinansowy.pl, which has been active for 14 years – a portal published by the National Bank of Poland, where substantive content in the field of economics and finance is published every day in a form that is not only accessible to experts.
The quarterly magazine “Obserwator Finansowy” fills a gap in the socio-economic press market. The publisher’s goal is for the magazine to become an important source of economic knowledge, a place for discussing economics and exchanging ideas – a forum and a space for debate. In the “Financial Observer” readers have the opportunity to hear the voices of scientists and experts who reliably explain the mechanisms of various economic phenomena. The authors of the texts are experts from the National Bank of Poland, as well as excellent scientists, journalists and publicists specialized in widely understood economic issues.
