Poland inflation rate (CPI)

What this value means

June 2026 CPI +2,5 % year-on-year (price index 102,5 with June 2025 = 100), and -0,5 % month-on-month. This is the latest published period on the confirmation date; the July 2026 flash estimate is not due until 31 July 2026. TRIPLE-CONFIRMED: the figure was read from the GUS release text, from the flash estimate (szybki szacunek) published 30 June 2026 which already gave 2,5 % and -0,5 %, and independently from the machine-readable Tablica 1 in the release XLSX, where OGOLEM shows 102,5 (06 2025=100), 99,5 (05 2026=100), 101,8 (12 2025=100) and 102,7 for the first half of 2026 against the first half of 2025. Because the flash and final agree, the June figure is final and not subject to the usual revision risk. COMPOSITION: services +5,4 % y/y versus goods +1,3 % — the entire remaining inflation is in services, and the goods component is close to flat. Food and non-alcoholic beverages were actually NEGATIVE at -0,2 % y/y (index 99,8), clothing and footwear -3,1 %, household equipment -1,1 %; the pressure sits in alcohol and tobacco +6,5 %, education +6,0 %, recreation and culture +5,2 %, health +5,0 %, housing and utilities +4,9 %, restaurants and hotels +4,5 % and information and communication +4,0 %. The month-on-month fall of 0,5 % is driven almost entirely by transport, down 4,4 % on the month (index 95,6), contributing -0,45pp of the -0,5 %. GUS RELEASE CADENCE: a szybki szacunek appears on or about the last working day of the reference month, and the full release with detailed tables around the 15th of the following month. Both carry the same headline; only the flash can move. THIS IS THE NATIONAL CPI, NOT HICP. Poland's EU-harmonised HICP is compiled by GUS for Eurostat on a different basket and weighting and reads differently every month; euro-area comparisons, ECB commentary and Eurostat tables use HICP, whereas Polish statutory indexation, the NBP inflation target (2,5 % +/- 1pp) and most domestic contracts reference this national CPI. The June 2026 HICP was NOT verified in this pass and must not be inferred from the value served here. Two further Polish-specific series are routinely confused with this one and must not be substituted: inflacja bazowa (core inflation, several variants) is published by NBP, not GUS, and appears a day or two after the GUS release; and the pensioner-household price index used for the annual waloryzacja of pensions is a separate GUS computation with its own basket. CLASSIFICATION BREAK IN JANUARY 2026: from the January 2026 data GUS publishes on the revised COICOP 2018 classification, which is why the 2026 tables carry a 'KOD KLASYFIKACJI' column running 00 to 13 with new headings such as 'Informacja i komunikacja' (08) and 'Ubezpieczenia i uslugi finansowe' (12), rather than the old twelve-division structure. Year-on-year rates were reconstructed on the new basis and remain comparable, but division-level series are not continuous across the break, and the January 2026 figure carries a GUS footnote marker indicating recomputation on the new annual weights. ACCESS QUIRKS: each monthly release lives at a URL with an opaque incrementing id — June 2026 is ',2,176', May ',2,175', April ',2,174', March ',2,173', and January and February share a single combined release at ',2,172'; the flash-estimate series uses a completely different id space (',21,42'). The downloadable XLSX filenames embed the Polish LOCATIVE form of the month name (w czerwcu, w maju, w kwietniu, w marcu), so they are not mechanically guessable from the month number. There is no monthly time-series table inside the release itself; a full history must be assembled either month by month or from the GUS knowledge databases.
