The Polish central bank left interest rates unchanged on Thursday as policymakers try to assess the impact of the Iran war on inflation following the announcement of a fragile truce in the fighting.

The Monetary Policy Council kept the benchmark at 3.75%, the central bank said on Thursday. The decision matched the expectations of all 32 economists surveyed by Bloomberg and came after a series of cuts that brought borrowing costs to their lowest level in four years.
