The official gazette, Monitor Polski, published its issue for August 20, 2026, containing a series of official acts and announcements. The publication includes multiple presidential decrees concerning the awarding of state honors.

Specifically, several decrees signed by the President of the Republic of Poland in July and June 2026 detail the conferral of orders and decorations. These include decisions dated July 27, July 21, July 27, July 9, July 20, July 2, July 1, July 2, July 20, and June 30, all pertaining to the granting of state recognition.

In addition to presidential acts, the gazette features communications from the President of the Social Insurance Institution (Zakล‚ad Ubezpieczeล„ Spoล‚ecznych). Two announcements dated August 18, 2026, address crucial financial aspects of pensions and insurance. One concerns the income thresholds corresponding to 70% and 130% of the average monthly salary for the second quarter of 2026, which affect pension reductions or suspensions. The other announcement details the quarterly indexation rate for pension insurance contributions, funds, late payment interest, and grace fees recorded in the supplementary pension sub-account for the second quarter of 2026.

Rounding out the key publications is an announcement from the Minister of Energy, also dated August 20, 2026. This notice specifies the maximum price for liquid fuels at petrol stations, a measure likely intended to regulate the fuel market and protect consumers.
