Poland's Dabrowski Signals 2026 Rate Cut as Odds of Hike at 3.75% Recede

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 14

Summary

  • Ireneusz Dabrowski said Polish policymakers increasingly see room for interest-rate easing, with a cut possible this year and a more defined easing view extending into 2026.
  • May inflation unexpectedly slowed, easing concern inside the 10-member Monetary Policy Council that Poland might need to raise its 3.75% benchmark rate again.
  • Dabrowski said tightening has not been fully ruled out, but the probability of another hike has diminished as price risks fade.
  • The shift points to a more dovish policy backdrop in Poland after earlier worries that inflation could force the central bank back into a tightening stance.
