EME Macro/Strategy: macro all-in-one (7-13 August)

Last week, the National Bank of Romania kept the policy rate unchanged, and reiterated that rate cuts are out of question this year. Beside this, we took stock of the developments in Hungary and refreshed our forecasts, to highlight the underperformance of the GDP this year and a gradually-paced rebound in the next two years. Poland looks set to grow rapidly, irrespective of the leadership, and is on track to join the EUR 1trn GDP EU club by 2026E, on our assessment. Meanwhile, July’s inflation prints were released across and beyond the CEE, and a slowdown appears to be the main theme, led by a moderation in food inflation, bar Egypt, which appears to be grappling with the fallout from both successive FX devaluations and the Russia-Ukraine war.
