Zloty Pressured by Polish Fiscal Outlook

Zloty Pressured by Polish Fiscal Outlook

Recent weakness of the Polish zloty is the likely result of negative news on the 2010 budget outlook, Monetary Policy Council member Halina Wasilewska-Trenkner told the daily Gazeta Prawna.

Poland's planned PLN 52.2 billion zloty headline state budget deficit and, more importantly, a broader public finance deficit reaching towards 7% of GDP is "very big, both in nominal terms and as a percent of GDP."

"Countries don't usually gain credibility that way, but their reputation rather worsens," Wasilewska-Trenkner said.

"It is possible that information about the deficit and generally about the shape of the budget for next year will provide temporary downward pressure on the zloty."
