The global financial crisis is the most serious slump in the economic activity and financial markets in the world since the Great Depression of the ‘30s in the last century. In 2007, A. Clarke, advisor of the President of the Bank of England, said that the liquidity risk was forgotten. It is far less recognized than the credit risk and market risk. The purpose of this article is to show the solutions for the management of liquidity risk in banks operating in Poland, in the time of global financial crisis. For this purpose, five banks operating in Poland were selected and compared according to their policies and principles of liquidity risk management and the changes occurring in them in between 2007-2010 were analysed.
