The figure was in line with a consensus forecast by economists polled by Poland’s PAP news agency.
In January, the prices of consumer goods and services in Poland were also 2.1 percent higher than in the same month a year earlier, according to the state-run Statistics Poland (GUS) agency.
In December, Poland's consumer price index stood at 2.4 percent, Statistics Poland reported.
The Polish central bank predicted in its latest Inflation Report, released on March 6, that inflation would average 2.3 percent this year, followed by 2.4 percent in 2027 and 2.3 percent in 2028.
