EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (6-12 May)

The data flow from last week has strengthened our conviction that private spending has, finally, begun to pick up across the CE4 economies, setting the stage for better GDP dynamics later in the year. The preliminary trade data for March suggest that improvements in the current account surplus likely continued in Czechia and Hungary, but less so in Romania. In Türkiye, the CBT released its latest inflation report, with minor adjustments in its forecasts, but left the door open for further rate hikes. Additionally, we present our insights from the second annual symposium, hosted by WOOD in Istanbul last week. Finally, the MPC in Poland kept the policy rate on hold.
