EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (13-19 May)
Last week's macro news flow in our region was driven by Georgia: despite the widespread protests, parliament passed the contentious "foreign agent" law, followed by the presidential veto over the weekend, which is likely to be overruled by Georgian Dream, the ruling party. Romania's GDP growth presented mixed signals, with a modest uptick in the adjusted annual growth, but a slowdown in unadjusted terms, suggesting cautious optimism for future rate cuts by the NBR. Poland's economic growth decelerated slightly, affected by weak consumer spending, although our projections remain positive. The inflation updates from the Czech Republic showed some pick-up; while Türkiye’s current account deficit improved. In Kazakhstan, GDP growth cooled, although the construction and manufacturing sectors showed a strong performance.
