  • While Polish inflation is expected to remain above the 3.5% NBP upper tolerance band for the rest of the year, its is expected to decline towards 2.5% in 2022.
  • As the uncertainty over the economic recovery remains elevated, Glapinski said that the NBP will not rush to tighten monetary policy as it could impact growth expectations in the medium term.
  • Glapinski is confident that Polish wages will keep growing faster than inflation and NBP policymakers will discuss tightening in the coming quarters.
