Poland's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) witnessed a slight decrease in May 2025, marking a movement from 3.4% in April to 3.3%, according to recent figures updated on June 16, 2025. This shift reflects a subtle year-over-year deceleration, offering potential signals of stabilization within the nation's inflationary pressures.
The core CPI excluding volatile items such as food and energy suggested a slow but promising easing in the inflationary momentum. When compared to the same month the previous year, the 3.3% figure for May indicates a slight relaxation in pricing strains compared to April's figure.
Economists observing the Polish market will likely interpret this marginal decline as a positive indicator for the country's monetary policy, as it alleviates some pressure on the National Bank of Poland to take aggressive action in response to inflation. However, whether this is the beginning of a sustainable trend toward controlling inflation remains to be seen, as further data will be necessary to confirm continued progress.
