Poland’s former gas monopoly is heading for the steepest monthly slump on record as it loses market share amid looming liberalization.

The Warsaw-based PGNiG plummeted 3.2 percent to 5.44 zloty at 1:45 p.m. in Warsaw, extending its November decline to 21 percent, the most since its debut in 2005. The stock is trailing a 5.1 percent drop in the benchmark WIG20 Index.
