Poland’s consumer confidence weakened slightly in October 2026, as the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) slipped to 47.11 from 48.00 in September 2026. The latest reading, updated on 15 October 2026, signals a modest month-over-month deterioration in household sentiment.

The October result extends the softening trend seen in recent months, with the “Actual” figure capturing the change versus September, while the “Previous” comparison reflects how September’s move stacked up against August. With the index remaining below the 50-point threshold, the data suggest that Polish consumers continue to be somewhat cautious in their assessments of current and future economic conditions, spending plans, and personal finances.

Market participants and policymakers will be watching upcoming PCSI releases closely to gauge whether this October dip marks the start of a more pronounced downturn in sentiment or a short-term adjustment within a broadly stable confidence environment.
