Poland: coal prices 2021

First, domestic prices were measured based on the Polish Power Coal Market Index for sales to professional and industrial energy (PSCM1). Since 2017, coal prices in Poland have been steadily increasing, reaching the highest price of 265.94 zloty/metric ton in the second quarter of 2020. Global coal prices were measured by the ARA index (based on the prices of futures contracts in the ports of Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp). The ARA index has been falling since the third quarter of 2018, closing the second quarter of 2020 at 222 zloty/metric tons. As a result, coal prices for fourth-quarter 2020 were lower on the global market than on the Polish market (considering the current USD/PLN exchange rate). However, since the first quarter of 2021, the ARA coal prices have increased, reaching over 437 zloty per metric ton.
