WARSAW: Google provided information that incorrectly undervalued the Polish currency, the zloty, by over a fifth, prompting authorities on Tuesday to calm the public and demand the search engine giant provide an explanation.

On Monday evening, Google's currency converter showed a rate of up to 5.20 zloty per euro and 4.70 zloty per dollar, which represented a drop in value of more than a fifth from the rate on the previous trading day on Friday.
