Inflation increases in May
Inflation rose to 2.5% in May, up from April’s 2.4%. The rise was primarily driven by quicker growth in prices for housing and utilities, coupled with rebounding price pressures for transportation. That said, prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages grew at a softer pace. Annual average inflation fell to 6.1% in May (April: 7.0%). Finally, consumer prices increased 0.10% in May over the previous month, moderating from April's 1.10% increase. May's result marked the weakest reading since December 2023.
How should you choose a forecaster if some are too optimistic while others are too pessimistic? FocusEconomics collects Polish inflation projections for the next ten years from a panel of 34 analysts at the leading national, regional and global forecast institutions. These projections are then validated by our in-house team of economists and data analysts and averaged to provide one Consensus Forecast you can rely on for each indicator. By averaging all forecasts, upside and downside forecasting errors tend to cancel each other out, leading to the most reliable inflation forecast available for Polish inflation.
