Finansowe zasilanie bieżącej działalności rolnictwa kredytem bankowym na tle zmian wybranych parametrów ekonomicznych w Polsce

Due to the specific characteristics of agricultural activity it requires the financing matched to its current needs. It is not only conditioned by the decisions of financial institutions, but also shaped by the changes in macroeconomic factors. Based on the annual data of the National Bank and the Polish Central Statistical Office there was made analysis, whose main aim was to assess the relationship between the dynamics of changes in short-term bank credits for farmers and selected economic parameters in Poland. An attempt was made to determine the availability of short-term financing for agriculture on the background of non-agricultural entities. For this purpose, the author have also calculated chain indexes and indexes with constant basis. The results indicate the relative stability of the demand for short-term financing of agriculture sector and the relatively low volume of this financing in the analyzed time horizon in the comparison to non-agricultural entities. Very significant seem to be indications, from which it follows that the demand for financing current needs of farmers is more dependent on the situation of economy than the level of its interest.
