Economic Environment of East Europe
The economies of Eastern Europe (CEE) had a soft start to the year. In Q1, regional GDP growth fell from Q4’s 3.7% to 2.9% over the same quarter of last year. The result marked the weakest growth since Q4 2014 amid a sharp slowdown in EU development funds along with unfavorable external conditions.
Looking at the individual countries in the region, growth fell to a two-year low in Poland, the region’s largest economy. Improved labor market condition which has led to a pick-up in private consumption, did not fully compensate for contracting investment and surging imports, which drove the slowdown. The Czech Republic and Hungary also lost steam, with the latter expanding at the slowest pace since Q1 2013. In contrast, Romania was a bright spot in the region and grew at the fastest pace in over one year.
Despite the soft start to the year, buoyant private consumption and improving exports should support a pick-up in growth going forward and an expansion of 3.0% in Q2 and 3.2% in Q3 is predicted. However, lower EU developmental funds will likely continue to weigh on the region’s performance and a number of risks are casting a shadow on the outlook. There are unknown impacts of Britain leaving the EU and is likely to disturb the financial markets, putting the region’s bonds and currencies under pressure. Meanwhile, in Poland, controversial political policies continue to cast a shadow on the country’s prospects and a number of uncertainties remain regarding the government’s plan to solve a burden of USD 35 billion in Swiss franc-mortgages. A proposal is expected to be presented to the Parliament by the end of June and at this time, the consequences for the country’s banking sector are unknown.
