Polish ruling party MPs blast banks for rising fees

WARSAW (Reuters) - Lawmakers from Poland's ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) piled pressure on private lenders on Tuesday to keep banking fees down, hinting they would consider price-capping if lenders try to pass on the cost of a new tax to consumers.

Since winning an October election on pledges to take more control of the economy and raise welfare spending at the expense of big corporations, the new PiS government has introduced a new tax on the mostly foreign-owned banking sector.
