Macro: COVID-19 Update: Responses to coronavirus in CEE - restrictions, monetary and fiscal measures as of 3 April

This slide deck gives you an overview of restrictions and economic, fiscal and monetary measures in Central, South Eastern and Eastern Europe (CEE), Austria, Germany and the USA. The data is collected by Raiffeisen RESEARCH analysts based in CEE countries and in Austria and is continuously updated. Since our last presentation release on 24th March there have been numerous additional restrictions and measures announced in the countries under coverage.
We added a column for external financial support as the first countries in the region are in discussion with international organisations like the IMF. Moreover, the EU will disburse some funds to members and non-member neighbouring countries.
With regard to restrictions, to largest change has been in Russia, as rising infection numbers forced Russian authorities to announce first a one week of work holidays and now prolong it to the end of April.
Fiscal packages have been already announced in many CEE countries, but are in general less generous compared to Germany/Austria, given the more limited means available.
