Poland's inflation rate has shown significant fluctuations recently, with the country experiencing both periods of high inflation and deflation. In April 2025, consumer prices increased by 4.3 percent compared to the previous year, marking a notable decline from the peak of 18.4 percent recorded in February 2023. Food and beverage prices drive inflation Food and non-alcoholic beverages have contributed to Poland's inflation, with prices in this category reaching a staggering 24.2 percent increase in March 2023. Although the rate has since decreased, it remained at 4.5 percent in September 2024, indicating ongoing pressure on consumer budgets. Similarly, alcoholic beverages experienced significant price hikes, peaking at 14.2 percent in March 2023 before settling at 6.4 percent in February 2024. These persistent increases in essential goods have substantially impacted the overall inflation rate. Varied impact across sectors While food and beverages have seen consistent price increases, other sectors have experienced more volatile trends. Clothing and footwear, for instance, went through a period of deflation from January 2019 to April 2021, with prices declining by as much as four percent in May 2020. However, this sector also saw a sharp reversal, with inflation peaking at 7.8 percent in March 2023. Liquid fuel prices demonstrated even more dramatic swings, soaring to an astonishing 108.3 percent increase in June 2022. As of January 2025, housing-related costs, including utilities, have emerged as the leading inflationary force, rising by nearly nine percent year-over-year and significantly influencing the overall inflation rate.
