The Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed the preliminary data on Friday, October 13. Inflation is falling. In September, prices rose by 8.2%. Suffice it to remember that in January the price growth rate was 17.2 percent, and the highest level was in February – as much as 18.4 percent.

If the scenario written by economists comes true, next year the minimum pension would amount to a total of PLN 1,777.46 (i.e. PLN 189.02 more than it currently is). The table shows simulations for other amounts.
The final inflation rate will only be known in January, when the Central Statistical Office will provide inflation data for the whole of 2023.

Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
