DATA
On Monday at 0700, the S&P Global Poland Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for Poland will be released. Analysts surveyed by Reuters estimate that the PMI index stood at 47.5 in July compared to 46.1 in June.

CPI
Polish inflation accelerated in July in line with economists' expectations, driven primarily by rising fuel prices, reinforcing the market's belief that interest rates will remain unchanged for now.

Canadian retailer Alimentation Couche-Tard ATD.TO said on Friday it plans to buy Poland's Zabka ZAB.WA for about $8.7 billion, its largest acquisition after abandoning a $46 billion bid for Japan's Seven & I 3382.T last year.

mBank
Cezary Kocik, CEO of mBank MBL.WA, proposes exempting assets financing defense projects and dual-use technologies from the bank levy, a move that would lower the cost of defence-related loans, Rzeczpospolita daily reported.
