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

Last week, the EU Commission released the first formal proposal for the 2028-2034 EU budget cycle, which was met with mixed reactions from the Member States. A mix of consumer and producer price data were released for the Eurozone, Czechia and Poland, showing upsides from food inflation. In Romania, the government survived the vote of no confidence. In Hungary, the government announced support measures for employers, ahead of the planned 40% increase in the minimum wage over 2025-27. We also discuss the KZT weakening, amidst the good macro data for Kazakhstan, and the latest stand-off between the EU and Georgian Dream, concerning the potential end of the visa-free regime for Georgian citizens and the EU Parliament’s calls for new and fair elections.
