4 itemsMoody’s downgrades Poland’s rating amid lack of fiscal consolidation
The recent downgrade of Poland's sovereign rating by Moody's from A2 to A3 underscores significant fiscal challenges and a lack of commitment to rebuild fiscal buffers, which could weigh on the Polish zloty in FX markets. Per the full note, Moody’s cites longstanding high fiscal deficits and deteriorating fiscal policy effectiveness as critical factors behind the downgrade. The muted market reaction indicates that investors had largely priced in this downgrade. However, ongoing fiscal vulnerabilities may lead to increased scrutiny from market participants, particularly as foreign investment in Polish bonds has been declining steadily over the past decade, highlighting a lack of confidence. With no high-impact events slated in the calendar, market focus will likely remain on fiscal developments and potential policy shifts in Poland.
Polish rates remain unchanged; post-meeting statement signals continuity
Per the full note [source], the National Bank of Poland held its main rate at 3.75% in September, matching market consensus, with a press release broadly unchanged from July, signaling policy continuity. The Council acknowledged firmer GDP growth and higher CPI inflation driven by fuel prices but saw only a modest rise in core inflation and noted weaker wage growth and falling employment as offsetting factors. The desk at ING sees rates on hold in the coming months, with potential cuts delayed until 2H26, and dismisses any near-term easing despite Governor Glapiński's earlier dovish tilt. This view sits within a stable Polish macro backdrop, with no high-impact domestic events on the calendar over the next month to force a rethink.
