According to NBP, the Polish economic will record an even lower growth this year than in 2012. The inflation is expected to reach 2.3%.
In the last months, NBP revised its growth forecasts several times. In order to boost economic growth again, NBP has cut the interest rate three times in a row. At the moment, the base rate stands at 4.0%.
Poland does not remain unaffected by the current recession in the Eurozone. The appreciation of the Polish zloty caused a decrease in exports and an increase in unemployment.
NBP´s governor Marek Belka reaffirmed that growth will return after the first half of 2013.
