What drives currency volatility?
Central banks policy
In 2025, both the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve began a cycle of interest rate cuts to stimulate economies after a period of tightening monetary policy. These measures favour stock markets, but may also weaken currencies, especially in the face of uncertainty about the pace of economic growth.
Economic situation and outlook
In Poland, projected GDP growth for 2025 is about 3.6%, but economists pay attention to the possible slowdown and impact of global trade tensions, especially between the US and Europe. The increase in customs duties or new barriers may weaken both the euro and the gold.
Euro and dollar – what to expect?
Most analysts predict that the euro rate in 2025 will oscillate between PLN 4.25–4.35, with a possible increase to PLN 4.40 at the end of the year. The dollar can be more variable – forecasts for subsequent quarters indicate possible increases even above PLN 4. Much depends on central banks' decision and geopolitical situation.
Why are exchange rates important to everyone?
- High euro and dollar rates mean more expensive purchases abroad and higher prices of imported products.
- Exchange rate changes affect foreign exchange loan instalments and travel costs.
- Entrepreneurs must monitor the market to plan their purchases and sales accordingly.
The current market situation shows that euro and dollar rates remain influenced by global decisions and local economic factors. It is worth keeping track of quotations, because even small changes can translate into daily finances.
