EME Macro/Strategy: reflections on the consequences of a weak Germany

Recently, we have been asked, frequently, about the potential consequences of a recession in Germany for Central and Eastern Europe. In this report, we broaden this question and provide our reflections on the probable consequences of Germany enduring a protracted near stagnation in the coming years. Nominal GDP growth in the CEE will probably be slower, going forward; as a result, we have trimmed the pace of recovery next year and cut our inflation projections. The risk has shifted towards lower interest rates in the Euro area and CEE compared with what the market is discounting. Wage dynamics should continue to be favourable in EEMEA, but are likely to stagnate in Germany, going forward. The EU political backdrop may turn slower, with Germany in a protracted stagnation and France in a political stalemate.
