POLAND: NBP Say Inflation May Exceed 5% in First Half of 2025

POLAND

Highlights from the NBP Minutes release:

  • A view was expressed that given the elevated inflation, the current level of NBP interest rates was too low to ensure a sustainable return of inflation to the target in the medium term.
  • When discussing the inflation outlook, the Council members observed that according to available forecasts, in the first half of 2025 inflation may exceed 5%.
  • The Council members pointed out that the second half of 2025 might see further increases in energy prices, which would once again boost inflation.
  • The majority of the Council members judged that in the coming quarters inflation would remain markedly above the NBP inflation target, driven by the effects of the already introduced increases in energy prices, as well as rises in excise duties and administered services prices.
