The author focuses on the Polish Financial Supervisory Authority as a Pension Supervisory Authority. The pension reform in 1998-1999 led to the creation of new types of activities related to the provision of pension security and new financial institutions operating in this area, which resulted in the need to ensure appropriate state supervision. Initially, in 1998, specialized pension supervision authority was established; in 2002, this supervision was entrusted to a multisectoral authority; and since 2006, pension supervision
has been carried out by an integrated financial market supervision authority (Polish Financial Supervision Authority). Pension supervision is specific and shows significant differences from supervision over other financial market
segments.
