EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (13-19 November)

The round of 3Q GDP releases concluded last week for CE4, showing a worsening in Romania and the Czech Republic, but relatively benign developments for Hungary and Poland. The current account balance is improving everywhere, as a trend, but the worsening in the external backdrop is being reflected more visibly in weaker exports, which could start to act as a restraint soon. In other news, the MNB has signalled to continue ahead with constant 75bps steps in its easing cycle through to February 2024. In Turkey, fiscal consolidation is proceeding with rate hikes; however, a perceptible restraint on activity is yet to show, which would be vital for the disinflation process.
