The zloty is regaining vigor. The euro is falling the most

The rates of the other three major currencies are definitely going down. The euro is losing the most and it is the common currency that is currently the queen of declines. The remaining currencies, i.e. the Swiss franc and the pound sterling, are also losing against the zloty, although the scale of these movements remains moderate.
