Another, but this time a small one but still, disinflationary surprise - the flash estimate of Polish consumer inflation (CPI) showed a strong drop in April to 4.2% yoy from almost 5% in the first quarter.

Instead of a peak, we have a plateau - CPI in Poland surprised to the downside again

According to the flash estimate, CPI in Poland remained at the level of the previous two months, i.e. 4.9% yoy in March, forming a solid plateau. Compared to the previous month, prices increased by 0.1% mom. The March result once again surprised analysts with a lower reading (expectations of 5.0-5.1% yoy), which only strengthens the belief that inflationary pressure is weakening.
