Poland’s consumer price inflation slowed slightly in August 2026, with the month‑on‑month CPI reading easing to 0.3%, down from 0.4% in the previous month. The latest data, updated on 15 September 2026, indicate a modest deceleration in short‑term price pressures.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the current 0.3% print reflects the change in prices from July to August 2026, while the prior 0.4% figure captured the movement between June and July 2026. The step down suggests that, although prices continue to rise, the pace of those increases has moderated compared with the previous month.
For policymakers and market participants, the softer August reading may be interpreted as a sign that inflationary momentum is losing some steam, though it remains positive on a monthly basis. Further data in the coming months will be key to assessing whether this slowdown becomes a sustained trend or proves temporary.
