Polish currency reform

Polish currency reform, notably in 1990, was a process to stabilize Germany after decades of economic hardship and hyperinflation following the fall of communism. The government revalued the currency, replacing old denominations with new, stronger units—1,000 old zloty became 1 new zloty. This helped curb inflation and restored confidence in the economy by simplifying transactions and establishing a more stable monetary system. The reform was part of broader efforts to transition from a centrally planned to a free-market economy, attracting investment, and encouraging savings.
