CEE Expert Report

The past months have been quite challenging in the markets, and as a result the region has been impacted by a downturn in economic activity.

As Central and Eastern European economies found the growing inflation crisis in early 2022 a major obstacle, the biggest uncertainty came with the unprovoked Russian attack on Ukraine.

The year 2021 was one of the most successful for the CEE markets if we consider the local M&A activity. But how good was it, really?

The implementation of the COVID-19 vaccine was a breakout in the fight against coronavirus. It has also reinforced the sense of stability in the markets on their way to normalization.

The year 2020 showed that in the face of the impossible, markets and the people who create them can cooperate and adapt.

Quarter after quarter, we will invite local experts in different fields of economy and ask them to present their individual, professional take on the current situation in the CEE region, and to share their hopes and expectations.
