EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (14-20 August)

Last week, the second-quarter GDP prints were released for all the CE4 countries, underlining that the worst phase is likely over, but that downside risks remain, which could affect the timing of the recovery. Improvements in current accounts are progressing as a trend in CE and, with receding inflation pressure, the Monetary Council is likely to take on a more dovish tone in the months ahead. In Poland, the Sejm has voted in favour of holding the immigration referendum on the same day as the elections. In Turkey, the CBT announced the first step for phasing out the FX-deposit scheme (KKM). Beyond CEE, the knock-on effect from the RUB’s recent devaluation has affected Uzbek Sum, while the Central Bank of Moldova (BNM) sees inflation entering the 5% target’s tolerance band as soon as in October.
