Poland’s consumer price inflation remained unchanged in August 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) holding at 3.4% year-on-year, according to data updated on 15 September 2026. The annual rate was identical to the previously recorded 3.4% for the same period, indicating a pause in inflation dynamics.

The figures show that price growth in August 2026 matched the pace seen a year earlier on a year-over-year basis, suggesting that inflationary pressures neither intensified nor eased compared to the prior reading. Both the “actual” and “previous” indicators reflect year-on-year changes for August, highlighting a stable inflation environment over the comparison horizon.

For policymakers and markets, the flat 3.4% reading may be interpreted as a sign of short-term stability in consumer prices, providing a clearer backdrop for decisions on interest rates and broader economic planning. However, with inflation still present rather than receding, attention is likely to stay focused on upcoming data releases for signs of a renewed uptrend or a move towards further disinflation.
