Poland’s producer price inflation accelerated in April 2026, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) rising 1.9% year-over-year, up from 1.2% in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 21 May 2026, signal a strengthening in price pressures at the factory gate compared with the same period a year earlier.
The PPI figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning April’s 1.9% print reflects how producer prices have changed compared with April of the previous year. Similarly, March’s 1.2% reading captured the annual change relative to March a year prior. The step-up between March and April suggests that cost dynamics in Poland’s production sector are gaining momentum, a development that could later feed into consumer prices if sustained.
For market participants and policymakers, the uptick in PPI will be closely watched as a potential early indicator of broader inflation trends, particularly if producer costs continue to rise in the coming months.
