Abstract

The article concerns situation of the banking sector in Poland and Sweden in three periods of economic downturn, i.e. the crises of the 1990s, the global financial crisis initiated in the United States in 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this article is to assess impact of the Nordic crisis and crisis of transition countries of the 1990s, as well as global financial crisis and economic slowdown related to COVID-19 pandemic on Polish and Swedish banking sectors.

The analysis confirmed the correct level of the banking sectors in Poland and Sweden in 1990-2022. The indicators did not differ significantly from the average values compared to the global situation. In Poland, changes took place to a greater extent during the COVID-19 pandemic than during the global financial crisis. In Sweden, it was the opposite.
