The article gives an account of the evolving Polish banking sector after 1989 with a special
focus on bankruptcy proceedings and taking over troubled banks by other financial institutions.
The account is complemented with an analysis of the change dynamics and financial conditions of
commercial banks in 1992 and 2001. The main goal of the analysis was to determine whether
there are any common features of the banks that either became insolvent or were taken over
following their financial problems.
