How does lower inflation affect Polish stocks?
It reduces the discount rate, making future earnings more valuable, and lowers interest expenses for leveraged sectors. The WIG20 index, heavy with banks and energy, typically rallies on dovish policy signals.
Which sectors benefit most?
Banks and real estate outperform as they are sensitive to interest rates. Lower rates reduce funding costs and support loan demand, while real estate capitalization rates compress.
