Poland’s consumer prices picked up modestly at the start of the year, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.6% month-over-month in January 2026, according to data updated on 13 February 2026. The move marks a shift from the previous reading, when monthly CPI registered 0.0%, indicating flat prices.
Both the previous and current readings refer to January 2026, but measure different comparison bases under the month-over-month framework. The “previous” figure of 0.0% captured price changes from an earlier month-to-month period, while the latest “actual” 0.6% reflects the most recent monthly change versus the immediately preceding month. This uptick suggests a return of mild price momentum in Poland after a period of stagnation in consumer prices.
