How do you read the NBP courses? Practical Guide
The exchange rates published by the National Bank of Poland contain three key information. Average course — also called mid — is the theoretical value of the currency, used for information purposes and as a benchmark for calculation. The bid rate is the price at which the exchange currency will buy foreign currency from you, always lower than the average rate. The sales rate (ask) is the price at which the currency can sell you foreign currency, always higher than the average rate. The difference between buying and selling is the exchange rate margin to be taken into account in currency planning — When you go abroad and want to trade gold for foreign currency, you will pay a higher selling rate, and when you return and exchange currency for gold, you will get a lower purchase rate.
