DATA
On Thursday, the statistical office will release data on Poland's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate in the second quarter of 2026. Analysts polled by Reuters estimate that it accelerated to 3.8% year-on-year from 3.5% in the first quarter.

PKO BP PKO.WA
Poland's top bank PKO BP PKO.WA reported a forecast-beating second-quarter profit on Thursday, as higher fee income and lower legal costs tied to Swiss franc loans offset a higher tax bill and falling net interest income.

NATO AMBASSADORS
Ambassadors representing NATO member countries met on Wednesday to discuss recent airspace violations in Poland and Romania, as well as recent drone incidents, the alliance said in a statement.
