Abstract

This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of the principles of the social market economy and co-operative principles, and also to identify the role served by co-operative banks in Poland in the process of promoting and implementing social market economy principles at the local level. The paper describes the reasons for the establishment of credit co-operatives and their defining features; it analyses the relationship between credit co-operatives as institutions and the social market economy model, and indicates the possibility of an active role of co-operative banks in the implementation of the social market economy concept. The social market economy concept creates the conditions for promoting and developing a stable credit co-operatives sector, while the co-operative movement supports the execution of the ultimate goals of the social market economy.(original abstract)
