The central-point forecast by economists from 21 institutions for the average annual inflation is 0.5% in 2014, 1.7% in 2015 and 2.3% in 2016, according to a survey by the National Bank of Poland (NBP). In 2013, the average CPI inflation was 0.9% vs. 3.7% in 2012.
The survey is carried out in March, June, September and December. In the previous round, the central-point growth figures were 1.2% for 2014, 2.3% for 2015 and 2.5% for 2016.
The 50% deviation ranges for the June round of forecasts is: 0.2-0.9% for 2014, 1.3-2.2% for 2015 and 1.8-2.9% for 2016.

In March, it expected inflation to remain below the target till Q1 of 2016.
