The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) has just published its latest Analyses and Forecasts.
The report, titled Crisis Is Over, but Problems Loom Ahead, analyses recent economic developments and short- and medium-term prospects of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Southeast Europe including Turkey, as well as Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and China.

Most countries in Central, East and Southeast Europe have emerged from the trough of the crisis already at the end of 2009. Several leading indicators point to a modest upswing. All countries in the region will grow again only by 2011. Growth may accelerate slightly in 2012, but will in general be slower than in the pre-crisis period. Given the weak rebound of economic activities, unemployment will continue to rise. The most vulnerable group of workers affected by the crisis are those with low skills. Economic policies should focus on countercyclical measures, correcting real exchange rate misalignments, as well as changing the regulatory framework and a range of supply-side policies. These are the main results of the new medium-term forecast and policy assessment for the region published by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw).

Konjunkturbericht und Prognose für Mittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa
Die Krise ist vorüber, etliche Probleme stehen noch bevor
wiiw-Pressefrühstück, 4. März 2010

Die meisten Länder Zentral-, Ost- und Südosteuropas haben die Talsohle der Rezession bereits Ende 2009 überwunden. Einige Frühindikatoren deuten auf einen milden Aufschwung hin. Ein Wachstum in allen Ländern der Region wird jedoch erst für 2011 erwartet. Das Wachstum könnte sich im Jahr 2012 beschleunigen, wird allerdings generell langsamer sein als vor der Krise. Aufgrund des schwachen Konjunkturverlaufs wird die Arbeitslosigkeit weiter ansteigen. Von der Krise am stärksten betroffen sind die niedrig qualifizierten Arbeitskräfte. Die Wirtschaftspolitik sollte sich auf antizyklische Maßnahmen, die Anpassung der realen Wechselkurse, Änderungen der Finanzmarktregulierung sowie auf eine Reihe angebotsseitiger Politikbereiche konzentrieren. Dies sind die wichtigsten Aussagen der jüngsten mittelfristigen Prognose des Wiener Instituts für Internationale Wirtschaftsvergleiche (wiiw) für die Region.
