10:00 AM EST, 02/04/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Poland's central bank (NBP) said its Monetary Policy Council decided to hold rates on Wednesday.

The analyst consensus was nearly evenly split between an unchanged rate and a 25bps cut, wrote Commerzbank in a note published earlier Wednesday.

The Council decided to keep the NBP interest rates at the following levels:

-- reference rate at 4.00% on an annual basis;

-- lombard rate at 4.50% on an annual basis;

-- deposit rate at 3.50% on an annual basis;

-- rediscount rate at 4.05% on an annual basis;

-- discount rate on bills of exchange at 4.10% on an annual basis.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
