As Easter 2026 approaches, Polish consumers may face higher prices for holiday goods as experts warn that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East could destabilize global energy markets and impact the costs of production and transport. A recent survey revealed that only 14.3% of respondents believe that the conflict will have no negative effect on prices for Easter products, indicating a widespread concern among the population about inflation and rising costs.

Factors such as rising energy costs and logistical challenges are especially concerning for certain groups of food products, which are more sensitive to these fluctuations. Retailers are reportedly taking steps to maintain the attractiveness of their offers to consumers while navigating these pressures. The fluctuating price of oil is also expected to have both direct and indirect effects on inflation and retail prices, making it a critical factor for consumers and businesses alike.

With 12.7% of survey participants undecided on how the conflict will affect prices, uncertainty looms as shoppers prepare for the holiday season. Overall, the survey reflects growing fears among Poles about the broader economic implications of geopolitical conflicts and their potential to drive up the cost of living.
