Selling Pressure on PLN Remains Elevated

POLAND
  • On Friday, economic data showed that consumer confidence fell more than expected in November to -23.3 (vs. -18.8 exp.), down from -17.8 the previous month, as Covid uncertainty keeps weighing on the economic outlook.
  • The index currently stands at its lowest level since February 2021, but could continue to deteriorate further as Polish government increases the restrictions to limit the downside risk of a fourth wave of infections.
  • We have seen that the sharp increase in ST rates and the inversion of the 'traditional' 2Y10Y yield curve have increased recession risks in Poland (and also in other CEE countries).
  • PPI inflation is coming this morning and expected to accelerate to 11% in October.
  • Selling pressure on PLN has been elevated this month, with the zloty down nearly 3% against the USD in the past 10 days (see below).
