Exchange rate for PLN (polish złoty) gone crazy due to a bug

Due to an error in data from a third-party data provider (Morningstar), the EUR/PLN exchange rate displayed by Google, Forbes, and other websites was inaccurate.

The error caused the euro to be displayed at 5.4 zlotys, which is a significant increase from the actual exchange rate of 4.2 zlotys. The US dollar was also displayed incorrectly, at 4.8 zlotys instead of the actual exchange rate of 4.0 zlotys.

The National Bank of Poland (NBP) issued a statement emphasizing that the error was caused by a third-party data provider and had no impact on the real situation on the foreign exchange market. The central bank assured that currency exchange rates in Poland are stable and that there is no reason to worry about their further development.
