Producer prices in Poland rose 1.9% year-on-year in April 2026, defying expectations of a 0.1% decline and following an upwardly revised 1.2% increase in the previous month, marking the second consecutive month of growth after thirty-two straight months of contraction.
Inflationary pressures strengthened in the manufacturing industry (2.3% vs 1.5% in March), while costs also accelerated in mining and quarrying (3.7% vs 0.5%).
Meanwhile, price growth eased for water supply, sewage, waste management, and remediation activities (1.4% vs 2.1%), while deflation softened slightly in electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (-1.2% vs -1.3%).
On a monthly basis, producer prices eased 0.5% in April from an upwardly revised 3% rise in the previous period.
