Poland’s central bank chief hardened his stance on inflation, saying policymakers are unlikely to deliver an interest-rate cut until 2026 as they anticipate a return to price increases.

Governor Adam Glapinski has insisted that a jump in inflation driven by a government decision to partially lift energy price caps effectively rules out a reduction in the benchmark rate this year. As of June, he’d expressed hope that borrowing costs could fall in mid-2025.
