Commerzbank expects the NBP to keep its base rate at 3.75%, and the cautious stance described keeps the Polish Zloty under pressure. An unchanged rate gives the currency little fresh support, while inflation risks are seen as masked by temporary fuel tax cuts. That mix points to a weaker zloty over the short term.
