After a period of significant variations, since 2012 the zloty’s exchange rate has undergone visible stabilization. Although the level of Polish currency’s relation to the euro is the most significant for Polish economy, it is also vital to analyze its value against the dollar or other currencies, issued by the most important economic partners. The aim of the article is to characterize the volatility of the zloty and identify key trends in this field. The author presents the results of analysis of the relation of Polish currency to the euro and to the dollar, and further also to other major currencies, i. e.
