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

The Polish central bank predicted in its latest Inflation Report, released on March 14, that inflation would average at 4.9 percent in 2025, followed by 3.4 percent in 2026 and 2.5 percent in 2027.

Earlier this month, the central bank’s rate-setting Monetary Policy Council left key interest rates unchanged, keeping the reference rate at 5.75 percent.
