Lead — The desk anticipates a steady monetary stance from the National Bank of Romania, as inflationary pressures remain palpable, while Polish economic indicators are expected to confirm a mild uptick. Per the full note [source], the Polish CPI is projected to hold at 3.0% year-on-year, bolstered primarily by rising fuel prices, while GDP growth is expected to accelerate to 3.8% in Q2 2026, reflecting related gains in investment.

Overall, both sets of data will be pivotal in shaping market sentiment in the coming weeks.
CEE: Moving in all directions
Per the full note by ING strategists, CEE economies are diverging in policy paths but share a broadly benign outlook. Poland holds rates steady amid easing inflation and softening growth, while the Czech Republic expands with contained CPI despite cost pressures. Hungary's post-election rally supports an easing bias with scope for summer rate cuts as risk premia fall. No high-impact events are on the calendar in the next 30 days for these jurisdictions.
