What the numbers say
In 2025, Poland's real effective exchange rate index (2010 = 100) rose 4.32 on 2024 (from 113.06 to 117.38).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1.53 and a typical year strayed about 6.21 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 11.49 in 2001 and the biggest yearly fall was 16.97 in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.82 a year. A straight line explains 74% of the movement over 10 observed years.
