Poland’s central banker hints at 0.5%-1% rate cuts by end of 2025

Investing.com -- Poland’s central bank is considering interest rate cuts of between 50 and 100 basis points by the end of 2025, according to central banker Wieslaw Janczyk. His comments were made public on Monday through the state news agency PAP.

The country’s main interest rate has been steady at 5.75% since October 2023. However, this month, central bank governor Adam Glapinski indicated that policy easing might occur as early as May. This is due to a lower than expected outlook for inflation.

Janczyk, in his response to PAP’s inquiries, highlighted the dynamic nature of the international situation. He noted that the global capital markets are reacting strongly to the new U.S. tariff policy and its impact on the global economy and its growth opportunities.

In his comments, Janczyk also suggested that there is a good chance for a rate cut in the upcoming Council meetings. He expressed that it may not be necessary to wait until the July inflation projection. He believes that cutting rates by 50 to 100 basis points by the end of the year is feasible at this point.
