What does this mean for the average borrower who repays the loan? Assuming a 0.5 percentage point rise on Wednesday, we have an overall increase of 0.9 percentage point since October, which is 0.4 points at the October meeting and perhaps 0.5 points in November. The average value of the housing loan granted in the second quarter of this year amounted to 330 thousand PLN. PLN – according to the AMRON-SARfin report, provided by the Polish Banks Association.
0.9 percent on the average loan amount of 330 thousand. PLN is 2970 PLN, divided by 12 months It gives an amount of PLN 247.50. The average monthly loan installment may increase, given that there are different forms of repayment and some borrowers have taken a fixed (more interest payments at the beginning, less at the end, not to be confused with a fixed interest rate), and a decreasing installment (the principal The money is repaid equally with interest).

Marek Rogalsky, Principal Currency Analyst at DM BOŚ, has a similar opinion. In the current situation, inflation is out of control and we should see a rise in interest rates. It is no longer a question of whether they will raise in November, but how much they will increase. In my opinion, an increase of 25 basis points [0,25 pp – red.] It will not be enough. Forecast moves to 50 basis points in November [0,5 pp – red.]. Next year, I have the impression that We should reach the reference rate of 2 percent. There may also be an increase in December, Business Insider says.
Still on Wednesday, commenting on the exchange rate, Marek Rogalsky noted that by the end of next year, prices will rise “by at least 1 point”, so he now has higher expectations. This confirms that the mood has changed after Friday’s data and expectations are increasing regarding the monetary policy normalization of the MPC.
There is a conflict with the European Union in the background, which affects the exchange rate of the zloty, and its weakening also accelerates inflation. The economist at DM BOŚ just wonders “whether MPC decision makers would be brave enough to do so.” They will raise interest rates by as much as 50-75 basis points, which may surprise the markets positively.”

Reference rate at the end of 2022 “Based on FRA rates, we can say that the market expects WIBOR 3M to rise by about 135 basis points in the next six months and about 190 basis points in 15 [miesięcy]. This means that he expects to raise the NBP reference rate to 2.25-2.50 percent. At the end of 2022 ”- they wrote in the analysis.
Since these indicators were at 6.4% with inflation expectations, it is likely that the market has already raised its expectations.
“We assume that interest rate hikes will continue, and decision makers (seeing inflation in the 6-7% range soon) will decide at least two record increases (by 25 basis points) by the end of the first quarter of 2022, One of them may come before the end of this year ”- they predicted.
