On 27 October 2026, Urząd Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego (UKNF) celebrated the awarding of state decorations to employees of the UKNF. The distinctions, awarded by the President of the Republic of Poland Karol Nawrocki for exemplary and particularly conscientious performance of professional duties, were presented by Mateusz Kotecki, Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland.

The ceremony took place as part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego and provided an opportunity to honour individuals whose many years’ work and commitment have contributed to the exercise of financial supervision in Poland.

The Chair of Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego Jacek Jastrzębski thanked the honorees for their multi-annual service and emphasised that although financial markets, the regulatory environment and technological challenges were undergoing significant changes, the responsibility of financial supervisors remained unchanged. He also pointed to the key role of human beings as well as their knowledge, decisions and readiness to assume responsibility, stressing that the work of supervisors, often invisible from the outside, had fundamental relevance for the smooth functioning of financial markets.

Minister Mateusz Kotecki, congratulating the honorees on behalf of the President of the Republic of Poland, stressed the importance of long-term public service and personal involvement of employees. He has emphasised that ultimately it is human being who remains the most important part of the institution, and the distinctions are an expression of appreciation for the work for the state and its citizens.
