Polish store inflation slows to 1.7% YoY in August, reversal risk in autumn

Polish retail price growth decelerated to 1.7% YoY in August, with four of 17 categories seeing outright declines, signaling easing consumer inflation. However, experts caution that the trend may reverse in the fall, likely due to base effects or seasonal factors. This suggests near-term disinflation but potential upward pressure later, relevant for Polish CPI and monetary policy expectations.
