WARSAW, March 3 (Reuters) - The following are significant news stories, press reports and events on Tuesday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland: GMT + 1 hour):

NUCLEAR DETERRENCE

Poland is holding talks with France and a group of its closest European allies regarding an advanced nuclear deterrence programme, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday.

POLAND'S ENERGY SECURITY

The Polish Ministry of Energy said on Monday that the conflict in the Middle East does not affect the continuity of oil and gas supplies to Poland and that at this stage there are no threats to the country's energy security.

INTEREST RATES

The National Bank of Poland is expected to cut interest rates on Wednesday, nearly all respondents in a Reuters poll said, though uncertainty has risen sharply after a new flare-up in the Middle East boosted energy prices.

ECONOMIC GROWTH

Although Poland's statistical office confirmed on Monday that the economy's growth rate remained solid in the fourth quarter of 2025, the beginning of this year may prove more difficult, as indicated by the decline in the PMI index.
