EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (18-24 August)
Last week, the EU and US formalised their trade agreement, capping the tariffs at a maximum of 15% on a broad range of exports and providing tariff exemptions for selected strategic products. The early August business surveys indicate a stabilisation in economic activity over the summer, but consumer sentiment remains subdued, which may weigh on consumption as we head into the autumn. In Poland, the government announced a front-loaded rise in the corporate income tax for the banks, starting from next year. In the Czech Republic, the producer prices for July continue to point towards upward pressures on food prices. Lastly, in Greece, the current account deficit widened, on the back of a worsening trade deficit.
