Our objective has been to measure an impact of the two main global currencies - Euro and USD on shaping of exchange rates in countries of Central Europe. We have also endeavored to measure whether and to what extent a different approach to the Euro introduction as well as differentiated macroeconomic situation of these countries influenced the behavior of their exchange rates. The hitherto analyses indicate that the PLN rate of exchange was until 2004 strongly tied to the USD, but since 2004 links with the EUR exchange rate have become stronger. However the exchange rates of other countries in the region had been tied to the EUR earlier than the PLN exchange rate as they already had strong such links in the whole period of our analysis. Currency integration of the Central European countries is very strong although they are formally outside the euro zone and formation of their exchange rates should be perceived through trends of the EUR exchange rate versus other currencies, the USD.

W przedstawionym artykule „Koniunktura na polskim rynku kapitałowym wobec sytuacji na rynkach wiodących” podjęto próbę określenia siły i kierunku powiązań pomiędzy indeksem WIG Giełdy Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie a indeksami wiodących giełd światowych: Stany Zjednoczone (S&P 500) oraz Japonia (NIKKEI 225). Analizie poddano dane dzienne wartości wybranych indeksów giełdowych za lata 2000-2008. Wykorzystano tutaj proste metody korelacyjne oraz model z Mechanizmem Korekty Błędem. Wyniki badań wskazują na pełne zintegrowanie polskiego rynku z rozwiniętymi rynkami zagranicznymi. Wysoka siła powiązania uwidoczniła się w ostatnich latach. Reakcja rynku polskiego na sytuację na rynkach zagranicznych następuje w czasie rzeczywistym. Podstawową przyczyną integracji rynków jest ich otwartość oraz rozwój technik komunikacji.

The results point out at full integration of Polish market with the developed foreign markets. The high strength of relations has occurred in recent years. The Polish market response to situation on foreign markets occurs in real time. The basic cause of market integration is their open nature and development of communication techniques.

Behavior of interest rates is of key importance for understanding the functioning of an open economy. The simplest models usually assume equal interest rates in individual countries, while the international arbitrage serves as a mechanism of their equalization. In our study an attempt has been made to determine whether and to what extend the interest rates in the Polish market are linked to the USA and the euro zone exchange rates. The analyses have been carried out for rates of different maturity terms, using the integration and co-integration concept.The analyses indicate that differences between the Polish interest rates, and those in the USA and the euro zone have strongly diminished. Cointegration analyses show the existence of a long-term linkages between the domestic and foreign interest rates, in particular with those in the euro zone. The nature of co-integrating relationships was different in the period 2001-2004 as compared with that after 2004, when we see a stronger impact of the euro zone rates than those of the USA. It may be assumed that the Polish accession to the EU had certain influence in the change of the above mentioned relationships.
