Post-Recession CEE: Relative Potential Amid The Global RecoveryJustin Patrie
A presentation delivered to the EBRD\'s Eastern European Business Information Conference on the opportunities and risks in post-recession Central and Eastern Europe. Particular emphasis on the global outlook and the relative positioning of individual CEE economies.
This document discusses the future of Europe based on data from economic forecasts and interviews with business leaders. It finds:
1) Europe's economies are stagnating with weak growth prospects and high unemployment expected to continue. Public debt is also rising in many countries due to slow growth hampering deficit reduction efforts.
2) Business confidence in Europe is low, with few expecting profits or hiring to increase in the coming year. However, investment in machinery is expected to rise which may provide a boost.
3) There is strong support among eurozone business leaders for further European integration, with 66% open to more economic integration and 40% open to greater political union as well. Ireland is least supportive of further integration.
For some time we have been forecasting a “lost decade” of growth for the Eurozone. However, the risk of an imminent Eurozone breakup, which weighed heavily on business and consumer confidence for much of 2012, has been averted. The economy is expected to start growing again from mid-2013, but overall a decline of 0.5% is still forecast for 2013, followed by very sluggish growth of only 1.4% a year in 2014-17.
Improving competitiveness and strengthening demand from the US and emerging markets will start to boost Eurozone exports over the coming year. Please also see www.ey.com/eef for further information and access to the forecasting data.
The document summarizes the quarterly economic outlook from the Global Portfolio Strategies Group. It predicts that Europe's debt crisis will continue to negatively impact growth in Europe, with recessionary conditions expected in much of Europe in early 2012. The US is expected to avoid recession, but growth will likely be weak. Emerging economies are projected to continue outgrowing developed markets, although slowing growth in China could impact Asia. Overall, it anticipates another year of challenging global economic and market conditions.

The UK's vote to leave the EU, known as Brexit, could negatively impact China's economy in several ways:
1) China's export and GDP growth may slow as globalization is undermined and the economic contagion spreads from Europe.
2) China has strong trade and investment ties with both the EU and UK, so economic deterioration in those markets could reduce exports and investment flows.
3) In the short-term, a weaker British pound and euro boosted the U.S. dollar, allowing China's currency to slightly depreciate against the dollar in a move supported by market forces. However, longer-term economic weakness in Europe may delay U.S. interest rate hikes and ease pressure

The Global Portfolio Strategies Group released its fourth-quarter economic outlook which predicts that Europe's debt crisis will continue to negatively impact the region, with recessionary conditions expected in much of Europe in early 2012. The U.S. is expected to avoid recession but may experience temporary stock price declines due to growth scares. Emerging economies are projected to grow faster than developed markets despite slowing Chinese growth and issues in Eastern Europe stemming from the eurozone banking crisis.

The Global Economy No. 8 - November 30, 2011Swedbank
The document summarizes the state of the global economy, with a focus on challenges in the eurozone. It discusses:
1) How the eurozone debt crisis is spreading from southern Europe to core countries, threatening the stability of the currency union.
2) How the inability to resolve fiscal problems in the US and eurozone crisis could lead to a global economic slowdown or recession.
3) The rising risk of recession in the eurozone as fiscal austerity, credit constraints, and declining business/consumer confidence hurt growth prospects.

This document summarizes key economic changes in Latvia from the perspective of joining the euro area. It notes that Latvia's economy is dominated by micro enterprises and has re-adjusted to become more export-oriented since the crisis. Exports to euro area countries are important and the euro is a major currency in foreign trade. Latvia's export markets have also diversified. The economy has regained competitiveness through wage adjustments. It discusses challenges in adopting the euro, including changes to monetary policy frameworks and the increasing role of interest rates. It also summarizes policy responses in the euro area to the crisis, including strengthened economic governance and fiscal rules.
The document discusses the potential impact of Brexit on ASEAN and Asian countries. It finds that the direct impact is likely to be minimal due to low trade and economic ties between the regions. However, there could be some secondary effects through financial markets and property investments. Specifically:
1) The direct impact on trade is small as exports to the UK make up less than 1% of GDP for Asian countries.
2) There may be losses for investors from declines in the British currency and stock market following Brexit uncertainty.
3) Property investors, particularly in Singapore, could be affected by an expected 10-18% drop in UK house prices triggered by Brexit.
Fit group analysts believe that the Fed will raise interest rates by less than 0.75% over the next year and keep rates under 1% in 2016 if political and economic conditions remain normal. Possible factors that could influence the Fed's decision include international political pressure not to tighten monetary policy, ongoing European economic crises, concerns about bubbles in energy markets and junk bonds, and changes in private consumption or currency wars.
Economic adjustment in the euro area and the experience of the BalticsLatvijas Banka
Presentation by Hans-Joachim Klöckers, Deputy Director General Economics, European Central Bank at the Bank of Latvia conference "Economic Adjustment under Sovereign Debt Crisis: Can Experience of the Baltics Be Applied to Others?"
Riga, November 2, 2012.
The document discusses the potential impacts of Brexit on Asia and ASEAN. It identifies five major impacts: 1) financial services being most affected, 2) FMCG companies needing to reassess business models, 3) property investors suffering losses, 4) a prolonged period of political and economic uncertainty affecting relationships, and 5) opportunities for Asia to capitalize on gaps created by Brexit. It then examines short-term effects, including sharp declines in markets that have since recovered somewhat quicker than expected, suggesting initial fears may have been overdone. Long-term uncertainty remains around the future UK-EU relationship.
- Retail spending in the Eurozone fell for a third month in January, raising questions about recent growth projections. Several Fed officials signaled an interest rate hike was near. China lowered its economic growth target for 2017. Deutsche Bank announced plans to raise €8 billion in capital. GM agreed to sell its European operations to PSA.
The document discusses the shape of the global economic recovery and associated risks. It finds that while growth rebounded in 2010, the recovery is not sustainable and a downturn is expected in 2011. Europe faces significant risks from debt problems and austerity measures. The US recovery depends on weak consumer demand as households pay down debt. China also faces recession risks from a slowing property market and investment.
2009. Jürgen Pfister. The global and European environment for CEE economies. ...Forum Velden
- The presentation discusses the impact of the global financial crisis on Central and Eastern European economies.
- CEE economies experienced a dramatic fall in foreign direct investment inflows and a reversal of private capital flows as a result of the crisis.
- Recovery from the recession will be slow, with an outright upswing not expected until 2011 due to weaknesses in the banking sector and rising unemployment in Europe.
- Medium-term growth prospects for CEE economies remain positive as the process of economic convergence with Western Europe continues, but growth will be dampened in the short-term by slow growth among EU trading partners.
The presentation was delivered during a seminar co-organized on September 29th, 2014 by CASE and IMF by dr. Emil Stavrev, a Deputy Division Chief at the Multilateral Surveillance Division of the IMF Research Department, which led the work on the 2014 Spillover Report.

Slight optimism outshines numerous challenges
As 2016 rolls to a close, the Ukrainian economy is finding stronger footing. The pace of recovery remains slow, but it looks sustainable and the chances of a meaningful acceleration in 2017 are high. Inflation is still in the high single digits, but a hike in regulated utility tariffs should boost it to near the NBU’s 12% target by year-end. The FX market is nearly balanced and the NBU is taking advantage of slight surpluses to replenish reserves. Ukraine’s external accounts look reasonably strong but they still pose a risk to the economy; any external shock could trigger market jitters. Smooth relations with the IMF and other IFIs remain a key precondition for the recovery of investor and domestic consumer confidence.

This document from the Russian Ministry of Finance presents data and analysis on the Russian economy and fiscal policy. It shows that Russia has a relatively low public debt as a percentage of GDP compared to other countries. The fiscal rule introduced in 2013 has helped maintain a budget surplus even with lower oil prices. GDP growth is expected to pick up in the next 18 months as investment projects progress and domestic demand strengthens. Federal and regional budgets for the first 10 months of 2014 saw increased revenues and a higher surplus compared to the same period in 2013.
The document summarizes the global economic outlook following the 2008 financial crisis. It discusses different theories on the shape and strength of economic recoveries after financial crises. It then analyzes the economic situations and outlooks of various regions and countries around the world, including challenges faced by developed economies in Europe and growth prospects for emerging economies such as China, India, and countries in the Middle East.

1) Inflation remains high and risks of second-round effects on wages and de-anchoring of inflation expectations persist. Monetary policy will need to go beyond neutral rates and hikes will become more cautious to return inflation to 2% in the medium term.
2) Industrial production figures hide disruption in energy-intensive industries, whose outlook remains weak. Inflation has increased broadly across countries due to high energy and food prices, and core inflation is also picking up.
3) Recession risks are rising as geopolitical uncertainty and the war in Ukraine push the euro area closer to contraction in 2023, according to ECB projections. Monetary policy normalization will continue in steps to withdraw accommodation.
Alejandro Werner - Latin America and the Caribbean.
FGV’s Brazilian Institute of Economics (IBRE) held, on 19 September 2014, the international seminar “Latin America and new global economic conditions”.
The event addressed the issue of Latin American perspectives given imposed change, among other factors, caused by the slowdown in China and the gradual normalization of US monetary policy.
The meeting was organized in three panels, which included national case studies from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.

1) Global growth is expected to be 2.5% in 2015 and 2.7% in 2016, which is weak for a recovery period and low over a prolonged period.
2) Unfavorable economic fundamentals such as low productivity growth, aging populations, high debt levels, and slowing world trade contribute to weak global growth prospects.
3) Risks to the global outlook include adverse market reactions to anticipated Federal Reserve rate hikes and a sharper slowdown in China that could negatively impact other emerging markets.
The document provides an overview of the global macroeconomic outlook from the perspective of Raiffeisen Bank. It discusses leading economic indicators, the recovery in the US and Eurozone, inflationary pressures and interest rate forecasts. Specific topics covered include the outlook for stock markets, emerging markets, commodity prices and currency exchange rates. Risk factors mentioned include the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and potential geopolitical conflicts.
The global economy is growing slowly with diverging growth rates between countries. Financial risks are increasing and volatility is likely to rise. Potential growth has declined as weak demand interacts with slowing growth rates. The euro area economy remains weak, a major concern. Coordinated monetary, fiscal and structural policies will need to be deployed to mitigate risks and boost growth.
Economic Prospects Challenges And Opportunities Lloyds Tsb Trevor WilliamsRoberto Grossi
The document summarizes the key economic challenges and opportunities facing the global economy in 2008. It identifies the credit crisis and rising inflation as the two main themes. The credit crisis stems from the bursting of the asset price bubble in the early 2000s, while rising inflation is due to strong global growth pushing up commodity demand. The implications are likely slower growth in developed economies, rising corporate insolvencies, and tighter monetary policy. Emerging markets will continue outperforming but face risks from high inflation.
The document is from the World Bank's June 2013 Global Economic Prospects report. It finds that while global growth is picking up, it remains 1-2 percentage points slower than pre-crisis rates and is less volatile. Confidence indicators continue to send mixed signals. Also, while developing country growth is solid, private sector debt may prove destabilizing if interest rates or risk appetite changes. The outlook calls for muted but solid growth in developing countries.
The document provides an economic outlook and projections for Mongolia in 2016-2017. It discusses factors such as fiscal policy, external environment, monetary policy, banking sector, commodity prices, current account balance, and foreign direct investment. Equations are presented for predicting exports, imports, the current account balance, and foreign direct investment under pessimistic, realistic, and optimistic scenarios. Projections show FDI ranging from -190.7 million USD in a pessimistic case to 850.5 million USD under an optimistic outlook by the end of 2016.
