Year-on-year wage growth in Poland’s corporate sector picked up in May 2026, with the indicator rising to 5.8%, up from 5.4% recorded in April 2026. The data, updated on 22 June 2026, reflects changes in average wages compared to the same month a year earlier.
The May figure indicates a modest acceleration in wage dynamics within the corporate sector, as the pace of growth strengthened by 0.4 percentage points over the month. Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring how much wages in each respective month increased relative to the corresponding month of the prior year.
This improvement in wage growth may be closely watched by market participants and policymakers, as it can influence expectations around consumer spending, corporate cost pressures, and the broader inflation outlook in Poland’s economy.
