In Poland, prices are rising on average at a rate of 2.8 percent. per year – the Central Statistical Office said a few days ago. This means a decrease in inflation from 3.1 percent. recorded in July. There is not much lack of up to 2.5 percent, i.e. the level that is the goal of the NBP, and has not been achieved for a long time. It is assumed that with this price increase, the Polish economy is developing best.
The Czechs achieved exactly the same level of inflation as it dreams in Poland. According to preliminary estimates published on Thursday by the Statistical Office, Consumer prices increased within a month by 0.1 percent. and 2.5 percent on an annual basis.

The Czech Republic has been able to boast of less burdensome inflation for a long time than in Poland. In an analogous report from a month ago, the reading was at the level of 2.7 percent, and even earlier 2.9 percent. And it was the highest inflation in the whole year. At the same time, it reached almost 5 percent in our country.

In the Czech Republic, inflation is inflated by growing price lists in services (by an average of 4.7 percent per year). The prices of goods at the same time went up by 1.1 percent, and energy (with fuel prices) was 4.4 percent.
The final data and more detailed statistics will be published by Czech officials on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
Inflation in the Czech Republic and interest rates
Inflation in the Czech Republic is lower than in Poland, exactly for the NBP, but above the level expected by the central bank (although it is located in the range). In our southern neighbors, the goal is to maintain the increase in the consumer price rate (CPI) at 2 %, with an acceptable deviation of +/— 1 percentage point.
Still slightly increased inflation inhibits the tendency of the Czech central bank to further reduction of interest rates. A month ago, the Czech National Bank (CNB) announced that it maintains interest rates unchanged. This means that the main interest rate is 3.5 percent. In Poland, at the same time, an analogous interest rate was 5 percent, and after Wednesday's reduction – 4.75 percent.
