Is Poland still as cheap as it used to be some 20 years ago?

I live in Cracow, I'm a student, but prices here are definitely not for students... Except for public transport - buses, trams, and trains are still much cheaper than in Western European countries, but the quality of it is much worse. |

If you will not have inflation at all it will be no reason for many people (and corporations) to spend money (put them in banks, buy shares etc). You will just keep it in your pocket, if not spending money no economic growth (everybody just collecting money less people buy something). The opposit process is called deflation: EU had some deflation during past years, they figth with it just printing some money. Poland also had some deflation in 2016 as far as I remember. On the other hand too big inflation will case big interest rates in banks, it will be very expencive to take a credit, so economical growth will also stop (people can't open their businesses, can't buy flats cars and etc). So for normal economical it is normal to have some small inflation, goverment should control this process. |
