The Polish central bank predicted in its latest Inflation Report, released on November 8, that inflation would average at 3.7 percent in 2024, followed by 5.6 percent in 2025 and 3.4 percent in 2026.

The central bank’s rate-setting Monetary Policy Council in early December left key interest rates unchanged, keeping the reference rate at 5.75 percent.
