Poland’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) ticked higher in April 2026, signaling a pause in the recent disinflation trend. Core CPI rose 3.0% year-over-year, up from 2.7% in March 2026, according to data updated on 18 May 2026.
The figures are based on annual comparisons, with both the current and previous readings measuring price changes against the same month a year earlier. After easing to 2.7% in March, the move to 3.0% in April suggests underlying price pressures remain present in the Polish economy, even as headline inflation has moderated in recent quarters.
The uptick in core inflation will be closely watched by markets and policymakers, as it may influence expectations for the path of interest rates and the broader monetary policy stance in Poland over the coming months.
