Poland’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) inched higher in March 2026, rising to 2.7% year-over-year from 2.5% in February 2026, according to data updated on 16 April 2026. The move marks a modest uptick in underlying price pressures after a period of softer core inflation.

On a year-over-year basis, the March reading reflects a comparison of price changes in March 2026 versus March 2025, while the previous figure measures February 2026 against February 2025. The shift from 2.5% to 2.7% suggests that, although core inflation remains relatively contained, the disinflationary impulse that prevailed earlier in the year has paused, a development that may draw attention from policymakers and market participants monitoring the trajectory of Poland’s underlying inflation.
