ABSTRACT

This paper contains a discussion of the development of the main financing sources of enterprise activity in Poland, with emphasis on bank credit and its availability. Bankers and entrepreneurs opinions about the role of banks in improving enterprise competitiveness were compared. Their perceptions of bank credit availability are strongly different. Moreover, it is a common opinion that banks are hampering economic development in Poland because enterprises cannot rely on banks as business partners. Banks do not pay enough attention to constructing a long-term strategy of positioning enterprises on the market according to survey results.

Key words: competitiveness, banking, enterprise, financing, credits..
