Integration of non-euro area central and eastern European EU countries in global value chains, export dynamics, and business cycle synchronisation with the euro area

This has been particularly true for the six countries under review, which have become increasingly integrated in cross-border value chains both globally and regionally.

Key Points: 
  • This has been particularly true for the six countries under review, which have become increasingly integrated in cross-border value chains both globally and regionally.
  • The six countries have strong trade ties and are well integrated with the euro area and the rest of the EU.
  • By 2014 around 45% of their gross exports to the euro area were related to global value chains (GVCs), i.e.
  • containing either foreign value added or domestic value added for other countries exports.
  • Chart A Share of exports from the six countries to the euro area (percentages of total exports)


Chart B GVC participation and position in exports from the six countries to the euro area in 2014 (position – index; participation – percentages of total gross exports)

  • [3] The six economies are now an integral part of European production networks, and net exports are a key driver of business cycle synchronisation with the euro area.
  • Stronger trade, especially in intermediates, can support business cycle synchronisation, for example through a wider variety of products being traded.
  • [4] High participation in regional production chains with the euro area appears to be an important catalyst for business cycle synchronisation with the euro area.
  • Chart C Trade integration and business cycle synchronisation of the six countries with the euro area (y-axis: share of total gross exports to the euro area related to GVCs, percentages; x-axis: synchronisation with euro area GDP and export growth, correlation coefficient; 2000-2014)
  • However, in recent years, the business cycles of the six countries have somewhat decoupled from euro area economic activity (see Chart D).
  • Moreover, the six economies are expected to grow faster than the euro area as a result of a catching-up process.
  • This trend differential suggests that, in general, activity developments in the euro area may not be exactly mirrored in the six countries.
  • The nature and final use of exports play an important role in explaining the correlation between exports of the euro area and the six countries.
  • For example, the recently weaker export growth in Romania can be largely attributed to the automotive sector, which accounts for about one-third of goods exported to Germany.
  • By contrast, a large part of Bulgarian exports to Germany are not re-exported but used for final consumption.
  • Since the slowdown in Germany mainly stems from export-oriented industrial sectors, it has a more limited effect on Bulgarias exports.
