Inflation in Poland may rise slightly in September, the country's Finance Minister Magdalena Rzeczkowska said.

Poland is struggling with rising prices, which have reached their highest levels in a quarter century, coupled with a slowdown in growth that some economists say could lead to a recession.

According to the statistics office, inflation was 16.1 percent in August.

Rzeczkowska also said that Poland will not enter a recession, but will definitely face an economic downturn.
