Poland’s foreign exchange reserves in euros rose in August 2026, reaching EUR 263.03 billion, up from EUR 255.95 billion in July 2026. The latest figures, updated on 7 September 2026, signal a continued build-up in the country’s currency buffers during the late summer period.
The month-on-month increase underscores the National Bank of Poland’s strengthened FX position, which can play a key role in supporting financial stability, managing external shocks and underpinning market confidence. While the data release does not specify the drivers behind the move, the higher reserve level typically reflects a combination of valuation effects, reserve management operations and broader balance-of-payments trends.
With reserves now above EUR 260 billion, Poland enters the autumn of 2026 with an expanded cushion against global market volatility, a factor closely watched by investors tracking Central and Eastern European economies and their external resilience.
