Poland’s trade balance still in the red
Last week we have learned that Polish economy in 1Q 2025 grew in line with expectations, but the balance of trade in March surprised strongly to the downside. This week will be another interesting time in Polish economy as we will get industrial production, construction output and labour market data for April. We are a bit more optimistic than consensus with regard to the first figure (1.8% vs 0.4% yoy) and in line with consensus with regard to wage growth (8.1% yoy).

Poland's monetary doves are no longer out
After last week’s MPC seating, important figures from the real economy are awaited. This week provisional data on 1Q25 growth will be published, as well as details of the April’s CPI. Regarding the former figure, we expect 3.2% yoy driven primarily by inventories (2.3 p.p. contribution) and private consumption (1.4 p.p.) with still subdued investment (0.1 p.p.). Regarding the latter, our forecast shows slight slowdown in core inflation to 3.5% yoy. The week will be concluded by the first round of presidential elections, held on Sunday.
