NBP: Inflation Expected To Stay At +4.5%-5.0% Y/Y Through Year-End
NBP
Governor Adam Glapinski says that the government's decisions on energy prices will largely determine the inflation path in 2025. As things stand, the NBP expects inflation to stay at +4.5%-5.0% Y/Y through the end of this year. Inflation will then remain elevated through mid-2025, before easing off and returning sustainably to the +2.5% Y/Y +/- 1pp target in 2026.
- At the same time, the Governor concedes that senior cabinet members have flagged the possibility of extending current energy price shields, which introduces uncertainty on that front.
