In September 2025, Poland's annual inflation rate remained steady at 2.9%, aligning with the previous month's figures and matching preliminary estimates. This is the lowest inflation rate observed since June 2024. The moderation in inflation was primarily driven by a deceleration in the price growth of several key categories. Notably, food and non-alcoholic beverages saw a reduced increase of 4.2% compared to 4.9% in August. Education expenses grew by 6.8%, down from 8.6%, while the recreation and culture sector recorded a smaller rise of 2.5%, down from 2.9%.

Communication services also witnessed a decline in growth to 5.4% from 5.9%.
Conversely, the growth rate for alcoholic beverages and tobacco increased slightly to 6.8% from 6.6%, and miscellaneous goods and services saw a faster price growth of 2%, compared to 1% earlier. The health sector remained stable with a consistent growth rate of 4.8%. Meanwhile, the contraction in transport prices eased, showing a decrease of -3.8% against the previous -5.4%. Similarly, the decrease in prices for furnishings, household equipment, and routine household maintenance slowed to -0.9% from -1.1%. The clothing and footwear sector also saw a reduced decline at -0.8%, compared to -1.5% in August.
