The latest data from Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS) indicates that inflation has exceeded market expectations, raising concerns among investors and policymakers. The report highlights that Poland's GDP grew by 4% in the fourth quarter of 2025, on a year-on-year basis, signaling resilience in the economy amidst challenges posed by rising prices. The data may prompt the Governor of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapiński, to advocate for a cut in interest rates during the next Monetary Policy Council meeting, as markets react to the inflationary pressures.

As inflation becomes a central topic of discussion, a recent survey by Rzeczpospolita revealed that opinions are divided regarding the bank's strategy moving forward. Many economists believe that continually adjusting interest rates is pivotal to stabilizing the economic environment, while others voice concerns about potentially jeopardizing economic recovery.

The upcoming Monetary Policy Council meeting will be critical as the central bank weighs its options against the backdrop of these economic indicators. Decisions made in this context will have significant implications for future investments and economic policy in Poland, shaping the trajectory of the nation’s economic recovery in the face of persistent inflationary trends.
