3 Inflation projection of the NBP based on the NECMOD model Outline: Introduction Changes between rounds Projection - Uncertainty Changes between projection rounds Changes in the projection assumptions November projection compared to July projection

4 Inflation projection of the NBP based on the NECMOD model Changes in the projection assumptions External environment: forecast of GDP growth abroad revised downwords (especially in the euro area), significantly lower agricultural and energy commodity prices. GDP data in Q lower than expected in July projection, with comparable domestic demand and weaker net exports. Lower absorption of funds from the - european financial perspective due to changes in National Road Construction Programme. Lower than expected food prices inflation (due to favourable agrometeorological conditions and the Russian embargo on fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy). Lower expectations for the growth of fuel prices (falling oil prices on the global markets).

8 Inflation projection of the NBP based on the NECMOD model Projection scenario Substantial deterioration in economic situation abroad (slowdown in the euro area, exacerbation of the Russian-Ukraine conflict). In consequence deterioration in foreign trade balance (weaker demand for Polish exports) and lower growth of private sector investment (depressed sentiments in the domestic corporate sector). Slowdown in Polish economy mitigated by the increase in private consumption due to the relatively sound labour market situation. The slow pace of closing of the output gap (negative since the second half of ). Relatively stable, low prices of commodities in the global markets. Low inflation in as a result of the economic slowdown, favourable weather conditions, Russian embargo and Energy Regulatory Office regulatory decisions. Since gradual, moderate increase in CPI dynamics, however CPI inflation remains below %.

In October USA Department of Energy (DE) lowered its oil production forecast for expecting OPEC to reduce its extraction (by tous. b/d as compared to ). Moreover Department of Energy envisages the global demand improvement in, which combined with lower production leads to a decrease in oil inventories and a gradual increase in oil prices. Oil prices index based on futures contracts was lowered as compared to the July projection assumptions, however it is following the upward trend, in line with the forecasts of DE.

Banks restrain from stronger credit policy easing due to the uncertainty associated with the review of banks assets conducted by ECB. The structural problems of the banking sector in EA might be underestimated. The possible prolonging of EA banks deleveraging process might decrease the effectiveness of ECB action aimed at stimulating lending, which may hamper the economic recovery in the euro area.
