Poland: Inflation Eases in October.

The annual inflation rate in Poland eased to 3.5% in October 2026, down from 4.1% in the previous month, preliminary estimates showed. The slowdown was primarily driven by falling prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages, which declined by 0.1%. Meanwhile, costs remained elevated for fuels and lubricants for private means of transport, which climbed by 21.7%, while prices for electricity, gas, and other fuels rose by 6.0%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices fell by 0.4% in October, reversing a 0.7% increase in September and marking the first monthly decline after three consecutive months of growth.
