This study examines the influence of government policies on the efficiency of the investment funds market in Poland. Analyzing the regulatory framework, fiscal policies, and institutional environment, we assess how government decisions impact market liquidity, investor confidence, and fund performance. Drawing on empirical data and econometric analysis, we explore the relationship between government interventions and market efficiency, considering factors such as transparency, stability, and regulatory compliance. Our findings provide insights into the effectiveness of government policies in promoting a well-functioning investment funds market and inform recommendations for policymakers and market participants.
