In 2019, Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) celebrated its 95th birthday.
The history of BGK dates back to 1924 when the President of the Republic of Poland, at the initiative of then Prime Minister and Treasury Minister Wladyslaw Grabski, issued a decree establishing BGK. It was created by a merger of three public banks (the Polish National Bank, the State Reconstruction Bank and the Credit Institution of Malopolska Cities.)
A special reception was held on 13 November at the Polish Embassy in Brussels to mark both the bank's 95th birthday as well as 101 years since Poland regained its Independence.

In 2018, the Hungarian Development Bank (MFB) celebrates the 25th anniversary of the launch of its operation as a development bank.
To mark this occasion, the MFB held a jubilee gala on 16 November, inviting its key existing and potential new clients, leading figures from Hungary’s and Europe’s political and financial scene, and the bank’s domestic and foreign partners and senior staff. The Museum of Fine Arts, reopened in 2018 after its full renovation, provided a fitting venue for the event.
