In the article we examine what determines the Polish sovereign Credit Default Swap dynamics. We consider not only measures of changes of the economic situation of the country, but also the impact of the international data. We find that the dynamics of the Polish sCDSs is very vulnerable to the dynamics of exchange rates, stock indices and bond spreads. These variables allow us to explain its behavior without including variables reflecting economic situation of the country. It is shown that the impact of information inflow is also important.
