Commuters at a train station in Warsaw.

Wage growth slowed to 7.7% year-on-year last month from 7.9% in February and double-digit advances for most of the last three years, data published Tuesday showed. The median forecast from a Bloomberg survey of 15 economists envisaged a 7.8% increase.

Polish wage and industrial output data are challenging the central bank’s steady interest-rate view and are likely to pile more pressure on policymakers to cut borrowing costs for the first time since 2023. Output fell 2% in February from a year earlier, twice as much as expected by economists surveyed by Bloomberg and the biggest decline since March 2024. Wages grew 7.9% from a year ago, the slowest pace in four years and undershooting analyst expectations, according to figures released Thursday.
