Euro Strong Gains – Historic record high (5.00!) was broken at the height of the panic. See if the EURPLN has a chance of appreciation or if it is in a strong decline! [Performance i prognozy USDPLN, EURUSD, GBPPLN, CHFPLN, NOKPLN]

After a wave of weakening of the zloty in early February and March, due to the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine, we noticed in the following weeks of March the return of the zloty to lower levels. Although the EUR/PLZ rate reached 5.0 (the highest level in history) in a panic, we are currently observing a consolidation of quotes between 4.60 and 4.70.

In the short term, we do not rule out pressure on the local currency and temporary weakness of the zloty again to 4.70 due to persistent geopolitical risks, rising inflation and slowing economic growth.

On the other hand, on a slightly longer horizon next year, we expect the EUR/PLZ to fall towards 4.60. Interest rate increases will strengthen the zloty – we expect the MPC to raise the reference rate to 8.00% in the coming months and keep it unchanged until the end of 2023.
