The Polish government wants to bring inflation down as quickly as possible, the Polish prime minister said at a press conference on October 11.
Inflation in Poland last month hit 17.2%, a 25-year high, as the country suffered from supply-chain disruption caused by the pandemic and surging energy prices owing to the war in Ukraine.
“Our aim is to bring prices down and anchor inflation expectations, to put inflation into a falling pattern in a few months. We want this to happen as soon as possible,” Mateusz Morawiecki said.
Morawiecki made the claim at a press conference focused on a new government programme introducing price caps on electricity bills for SMEs, social institutions and households in an effort to protect them from soaring energy costs. (The First News/Business World Magazine)
