Poland’s consumer price inflation ticked higher in April, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 3.2%, up from 3.0% previously. Both the current and prior readings are based on comparisons with the same month a year earlier, highlighting a modest acceleration in price growth after a period of relative stability.

The latest figure, updated on 15 May 2026, marks a slight increase from the previous annual rate of 3.0%, which had also been recorded for April 2026. While the move is small in absolute terms, it suggests that inflationary pressures may be firming rather than continuing to ease, a development that investors and policymakers will be watching closely.

This year-over-year uptick indicates that consumer prices in Poland are now rising at a somewhat faster pace than in the previous comparison period, potentially influencing expectations around monetary policy and future price dynamics in the Polish economy.
