Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Poland: National Bank of Poland (NBP)
Previous Decision: Hold (February 4, 2026)
Key Rate: 4.00% (Reference Rate)
Summary: In its February meeting, the Monetary Policy Council (MPC) held the reference rate steady at 4.00%, extending its pause for a second consecutive month. The decision was a strategic “wait-and-see” maneuver, as the Council lacked fresh inflation data and opted to wait for the comprehensive macroeconomic projections due in March.
With December’s annual inflation having already slowed to 2.4%—comfortably near the midpoint of the central bank’s 1.5% to 3.5% target range—the hold was widely priced in by markets. Notably, NBP Governor Adam Glapiński used the post-meeting press conference to heavily telegraph that a rate cut is on the table for March, provided early 2026 inflation and wage data remain benign.
Latest Press Release: Press release from the meeting of the Monetary Policy Council held on 3-4 February 2026
Schedule: The NBP's Monetary Policy Council will conclude its two-day meeting on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, with the rate decision announced in the afternoon. This will be a pivotal watch-point for fixed-income markets; the MPC will review the new staff inflation projections, and markets are currently pricing in a high probability of a rate cut.
