Welche Krise? • Contagion, capital accounts crisis, devaluations • Laenge der Krise? • Laenger-fristige Auswirkungen?
Der Weg aus der Krise – was sollte gemacht werden? • Policy reactions and policy challenges: same challenges as in more advanced economies (but often in worse circumstances): stabilize financial system; adjust to new capital accounts situation; avoid exchange rate over-shooting; attempt anti-cyclical fiscal measures; intensify labour market policies • Policy support from outside (EU, EU partners, IFIs) is vital!
Anti-crisis policies Budget deficit/GDP on the rise due to lower revenues and rigid expenditures, more expensive deficit financing Limited scope for fiscal stimulus Modest demand stimulation: Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic Neutral fiscal policy, but expenditure shifts to SMEs, public investments: Bulgaria, Poland, Romania Pro-cyclical policy, but revenues and expenditures shift: Baltics, Hungary Monetary policy: limited expansion (lower policy rate, lower reserve ratio) Differences by exchange rate regimes Eurozone: Slovenia, Slovakia – competitiveness problem Fixed in Baltics, Bulgaria – adjustment through cost reduction; managed devaluation? Flexible in the Czech R., Poland, Romania, Hungary – adjustment also by depreciation Intention to join Eurozone soon to gain stability: Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania
Longer-term outlook 2010, 2011 recovery depends on global (European) prospects External financing, especially loans remain scarce and expensive Need for domestic savings to finance investments EU transfers increase, more in 2010 and beyond FDI inflows shrink to half Cost competitiveness may attract relocation
