Yesterday's Recap
Emerging Europe traded a quiet data slate with policy headlines doing the work. Poland dominated: NBP Governor Adam Glapiński said the bank stands ready to raise rates for the first time in four years should inflation risks escalate, a hawkish tilt that supported the zloty, with EUR/PLN easing 0.01% to 4.38. In the Sejm, Finance Minister Andrzej Domański defended the 2027 budget, arguing the economy enters the year from a position of strength with room for further growth — a fiscal narrative that underscores Poland's growth premium over the euro area.
The structural story remained intact too: Polish services output expanded 5.4% year-on-year, well above the EU average, reinforcing the convergence case. Elsewhere, the koruna firmed with EUR/CZK down 0.21% at 24.36 and the forint gained modestly, EUR/HUF 0.07% weaker at 365.07. Turkey's lira slipped 0.23% to 49.32 per dollar, though the BIST 100 bucked the softer global risk tone, rising 0.75% to 12,213.60.
iShares Poland lagged, down 0.28% at 43.48, as the Glapiński parliamentary-inquiry saga — which he dismissed as baseless — kept a political discount on the story.
The Day Ahead
Today's calendar is thin, so attention stays on policy commentary and fiscal follow-through. Watch for any detail emerging from Poland's budget debate in the Sejm, where the 2027 deficit and EU-fund assumptions will be scrutinized for credibility against the NBP's inflation outlook. Glapiński's rate-risk language invites scrutiny of upcoming Polish data for confirmation that disinflation has stalled.
In Ankara, monitor CBRT communication for signals on the pace of lira-friendly normalization after USD/TRY's grind higher. Hungarian and Czech speakers may fill the void; any pushback on the pace of easing versus the ECB would move EUR/HUF and EUR/CZK. With no tier-one prints scheduled, FX and rates desks will trade the global backdrop — Brent's pullback and gold's bid — rather than domestic news.
Other Economic Notes
Poland's fiscal position is the region's anchor story: the 2027 budget presentation leans on resilient growth, with services output up 5.4% against a much weaker EU average, giving Warsaw fiscal room that peers lack. ↓ p.2
