Data after cut-off date (24.01.2012)
Lower than expected CPI inflation index in January 2012
Zloty appreciation in February 2012
An increase in oil and gas prices on global markets in February 2012
These data increase the probability of the inflation running in the
short run below the central path (assuming unchanged GDP path,
they lower the forecast of CPI y/y by 0.3-0.4 p. points in 2012 and by
0.2-0.3 p. points in 2013)
