Poland macro brief

The highest-signal pages for Poland include Inflation Rate (CPI/HICP), Core Inflation, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth, Unemployment Rate, with each page linking back to the source metadata, release history, and API endpoint.

The National Bank of Poland (NBP) Monetary Policy Council (RPP) sets the reference rate at monthly meetings. The NBP's inflation target is 2.5% ±1 percentage point, and decisions are followed by an NBP press conference and quarterly Inflation Reports.

The pages below are organized by indicator rather than API route. That keeps the public website useful for research while still preserving direct links into the versioned API documentation for developers.

What to watch
  • NBP reference-rate decision and Governor's press conference.
  • Poland CPI flash and final.
  • NBP Inflation Report (quarterly).
  • Eurozone PMIs and German industrial data.
  • EUR/PLN and HUF/PLN regional cross.
