Poland's corporate sector wages rose by 6.1% year-on-year to PLN 9,002.47 in January 2026, falling short of market expectations of 7.2% and slowing from 8.6% in the previous month. It marked the weakest annual wage growth since February 2021, as gains moderated across most sectors, particularly manufacturing (5.9% vs 8.8%), agriculture, forestry, hunting, and fishing (2.7% vs 36.9%), and electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (2.6% vs 13%). On a monthly basis, the average gross salary slumped 6.1%, reversing a 5.6% increase in December. The decline was primarily due to the absence of additional payments in January that had been made in December 2025, such as Christmas bonuses and awards for Miners’ Day, as well as smaller discretionary, annual, performance, and anniversary bonuses. source: Central Statistical Office of Poland (GUS)
