Brexit sparked a rout in the currencies of eastern Europe. Three weeks on, only Poland’s zloty has yet to heal.
Forecasters say there’s little prospect of a sustained rally in the currency for at least another year. The zloty may have recovered most of its 4 percent drop versus the euro in the immediate wake of the U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union, but it’s still down about 0.9 percent since the vote last month.
