Poland’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation eased to 2.5% year-over-year in February 2026, down from 2.7% in December 2025, according to figures updated on 16 March 2026. The data, measured on an annual comparison basis, indicate that underlying price pressures in the Polish economy continue to moderate.
The February reading compares the change in core prices to the same month a year earlier, while the previous figure reflects December’s year-over-year change. The slight but continued slowdown in core inflation suggests a gradual cooling in price dynamics beyond volatile components such as food and energy, a development that will be closely watched by markets and policymakers assessing the trajectory of monetary conditions in Poland.
