The article concerns the problem of risk measurement related to the functioning of capital markets in Germany and Poland. This risk is related to the constantly progressing phenomenon of globalization of economies, which in turn results in a dynamic growth of links between financial markets. In connection with the issue of risk measurement, the attention of the authors is focused on determining the value of Value-at-Risk measure and
testing the quality of the received estimates. The VaR measure is a useful risk assessment tool on the financial market due to its universality and methodology providing many tools for its assessment and testing. The purpose of the proposed article is to assess the quality of VaR measure estimates used to determine the market risk for DAX and WIG indices. The research was done for the years 2000-2012. The period was chosen deliberately as it covered the time of global financial crisis. For the quality evaluation, backtesting was used, where binominal
tests LRuc, LRind, LRcc were applied.
