4 Inflation projection of the NBP based on the NECMOD model Changes in the projection assumptions External environment: similar forecasts of GDP growth abroad, lower inflation forecasts abroad, significantly lower energy commodity prices (especially crude oil prices). GDP data in the nd half of higher than expected in November projection, with higher domestic demand and weaker net exports (more favourable data partly due to the implementation of ESA and other methodological changes). Higher employment dynamics, lower growth of nominal wages in nd half of. Lower than expected domestic food prices inflation (the effect of stronger impact of high supply of agricultural commodities on food prices in Poland). Lower than expected energy prices inflation (slump in crude oil prices and other energy commodity prices on the global market, Energy Regulatory Office approved new tariffs for the sale and distribution of natural gas, which do not include an increase in prices assumed in the November projection).

8 Inflation projection of the NBP based on the NECMOD model 8 Projection scenario Economic growth based on increasing consumption and private investment, while net exports remain negative. Negative net exports contribution to growth (higher imports dynamics due to high domestic demand and lower exports dynamics resulting from only a slight recovery abroad). Private consumption growth supported by good situation on the labour market and low price dynamics. In investment will lose momentum for a while due to the end of the process of drawing on EU funds under the 7- financial framework. Output gap closing gradually (negative since mid-). Low energy commodity prices on the global markets. Deflation in most quarters of, afterwards positive price dynamics however significantly below the inflation target. The CPI inflation growth in the longer term suppressed by low demand pressure and low cost pressure, moderate recovery in the global economy and low commodity prices on the global markets.

Lower coal prices also due to lower demand from China. Lower natural gas prices also due to relatively favourable weather conditions in the heating season in Europe and a high level of its inventories.

In fuels and commodities accounted for 7% of imports value to Poland (in which crude oil was 9%) as compared to % exports value from Poland. The improvement in Poland's terms of trade in Q resulted, on the one hand, from a much steeper decline in the global prices of commodities and fuels in comparison with those of processed goods, on the other hand - from a higher share of fuels and other commodities in imports than in exports.

Potential disruptions in the oil supply on the global markets: scale of shale oil extraction and its export by US, Brent oil prices on the global markets actions udertaken by the OPEC countries, uncertain political situation in Iraq and Libya.
