ORLEN
Poland's Orlen PKN.WA said on Wednesday it had bought 16 extra cargoes of oil for its Polish, Lithuanian and Czech refineries, after traders said it was rushing to secure crude to cover disruptions to Saudi supplies until November.

INTEREST RATES
Polish interest rates could remain unchanged this year, but a rate increase in 2026 cannot be ruled out if a pick-up in inflation proves persistent, central banker Henryk Wnorowski told Reuters.

WINDFALL TAX
On Friday, Polish parliament may vote on a new bill on windfall tax on fuel companies. If it is adopted and the president signs it, the government may launch a new fuel price control program, Puls Biznesu reported.
