Expansion to foreign markets usually implies the selection of an adequate financing facility that would fit a given transaction, as well as the specificity of a particular foreign market. This paper explores how Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) in its capacity of a state development bank funding the expansion of Polish business to other countries, i.e., exports and foreign direct investment projects carried out by Polish businesses or their foreign affiliates. The author's considerations focus on instruments offered by BGK, which provide direct financing, such as loans to foreign buyers and investment loans dedicated to projects carried out in other countries. Moreover, the paper discusses, inter alia, the current data for Polish exports, as well as selected transactions that BGK supported financially over the period 2015-2018.
