RGE's Q3 2010 Southeast Europe Outlook

RGE’s growth forecast for the Southeast Europe (SEE) economies, specifically, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia, has worsened since our Q2 Outlook. Faltering domestic demand has been dragged down by weak consumer confidence, sluggish credit growth and fiscal consolidation. RGE sees regional growth averaging -1.2%, in 2010, compared with the 0.5% forecast in our April Outlook. Heightened uncertainty stemming from the debt crisis in the eurozone periphery represents the main downside risk to our projection. We expect a return to positive, albeit below-potential, growth of 1.6% next year, driven by a modest revival in private consumption.
