Poland's banking sector is seeking state-backed risk-sharing mechanisms to finance an accelerated national defence build-up. The country plans to allocate €53B ($59.4B) to military spending in 2026, creating unprecedented funding demands for local lenders.
Lenders face strict regulatory exposure limits alongside the risk that rapidly evolving military technology, such as drones, could outlive the financing terms.
