Central Europe Outlook, 2020: Domestic Consumption will Remail Resilient on the Back of Robust Real Wage Growth - ResearchAndMarkets.com

Monday, November 18, 2019 - 7:55pm

The "2020 Central Europe Outlook" country profile has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Key Points: 
  • The "2020 Central Europe Outlook" country profile has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
  • Growth in 2019 surprised on the upside for many Central European markets (including countries in both Central and southeastern Europe), but softer external demand, tight labor markets, and a decline in private investment growth will lead to a notably softer economic expansion in 2020.
  • Slower growth in the eurozone will lead to a fall in industrial production growth and fewer B2B business opportunities in the region.
  • Domestic consumption, however, will remain resilient on the back of robust real wage growth, and the beginning of a new election cycle across the region will ensure that fiscal policy remains supportive of growing consumer demand.
