walutowy

walutowy is an adjective in Polish derived from waluta, meaning foreign currency or currency in general. It is used to describe things connected with currencies other than the Polish złoty, as well as with currency exchange, valuation, and settlement. In economics and finance, the term appears in expressions such as rynek walutowy (foreign exchange market), transakcje walutowe (foreign currency transactions), and instrumenty walutowe (currency instruments) like forwards, futures, and options denominated in a foreign currency.

The adjective also appears in contexts touching exchange rate movements, for example kurs walutowy (exchange rate), ryzyko walutowe (currency risk), and koszty walutowe (currency-related costs) arising from exchange rate fluctuations.

usage notes: walutowy is typically used in combination with nouns referring to currencies, accounts, contracts, or risk. It does not denote a separate currency; rather it indicates relation to currencies or exchange. In legal and contractual language, phrases such as zapłata walutowa or rozliczenie walutowe describe payments or settlements made in foreign currencies. The word is common in banking, accounting, and international trade in Poland.
