A new fuel price cap in Poland will lower inflation toward the central bank's target range, easing pressure to raise interest rates this year. The measure follows a windfall tax on energy firms enacted after regional tensions involving Iran drove up costs. Analysts say the shift creates room to keep borrowing costs steady through the coming months.
