Polish wages grew at the slowest pace in four years in March and slightly undershot analyst expectations, bolstering the case for a start to monetary easing next month.

Wage growth slowed to 7.7% year-on-year last month from 7.9% in February and double-digit advances for most of the last three years, dataBloomberg Terminal published Tuesday showed. The median forecast from a Bloomberg survey of 15 economists envisaged a 7.8% increase.
