Reglamentacja handlu zagranicznego w Polsce w latach trzydziestych XX wieku
Streszczenie
In the 30s of the twentieth century, as a result of the economic crisis, a system
of restrictions on payment transactions with foreign countries was introduced
in Poland. It was closely associated with the limitation of trading of goods
through the use of bans for imports and exports. The activity of the bodies, responsible
for regulation of trade of goods, has been correlated with the actions
of the authorities of foreign currency exchange. Part of the decision was undertaken
in close consultation of those institutions – usually conducting the transaction
meant consent to the payment, and a foreign exchange license was tantamount
to acceptance to conduct commodity trading. These general principles
and objectives of the exchange controls were applied in Poland, together with
the implementation in April 1936 a decree on the marketing of funds from
abroad and trading of foreign and domestic means of payment. Restrictions on
imports were a regular part of the commercial policy of the Second Republic. In
addition, there was a system of compensation transactions, linked transactions
and clearing. More than 80% of Polish imports were covered by the regulations
of imports and by the other forms of limitation.
