The statistics office said earlier this year it had revised its system of weights used for calculating the consumer price index in 2025.

Next year, Polish inflation is expected to average 3.1 percent, under the country's budget adopted by the government in August.

The Polish central bank predicted in its latest Inflation Report, released on July 4, that inflation would average 3.9 percent in 2025, followed by 3.1 percent in 2026 and 2.4 percent in 2027.
