Alior Bank Bring Forward Their NBP Rate-Cut Call

NBP

Alior Bank Chief Economist Agata Filipowicz-Rybicka told PAP newswire that the ongoing disinflation may open up space for the NBP to cut interest rates faster than the market expected, possibly already this September.

  • "Due to faster disinflation, we assume a quicker pace of interest-rate cuts in Poland. We had been forecasting that interest-rate cuts would start only in 1Q2024, now we expect that the first cut may happen in September."
  • "However, we do not expect the pace of monetary easing to be quick - in 2023 we pencil in two 25bp cuts. This is not a radical pace that could significantly alter the inflation path."
  • "The consequence of the fact that rate cuts will happen earlier - i.e. before inflation starts falling firmly towards the target - is that CPI inflation will remain elevated for longer."
  • This comes after some local sell-side desks outlined dovish interpretations of weaker-than-expected GDP data and the confirmation of continued decline in core inflation yesterday.
