Poland’s consumer price growth accelerated in March 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading rising to 1.0%, up from 0.3% in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 31 March 2026, point to a notable pickup in price pressures compared with the previous month.

On a month‑over‑month basis, the March figure shows that prices grew more than three times faster than they did in February. The February reading of 0.3% represented the change from January to February, while the March reading of 1.0% reflects the change from February to March. This marks a clear upward shift in short‑term inflation momentum in Poland as the first quarter draws to a close.

The stronger March print will likely refocus attention on the near‑term inflation path and the balance of risks for monetary policy, as markets assess whether the latest increase is temporary or the start of a more persistent trend in consumer price growth.
