Polish store inflation accelerates to 1.9% in September, led by sweets and snacks

Polish retail price growth for frequently purchased goods accelerated to 1.9% year-on-year in September, the first acceleration in several months, with sweets and snacks seeing the largest increases. Economists caution that a single month does not confirm a lasting reversal of the disinflation trend. The data suggests a potential uptick in consumer inflation, which could influence monetary policy expectations.
