Three months ago, Justin Patrie, Head of Emerging Europe at Business Monitor came onto the podcast to discuss Central and Eastern Europe. At the time, very weak Q408-Q109 economic data suggested a deep macroeconomic crisis, with the level of contraction unprecedented in the post-Soviet era. Since then, though, global market and macro sentiment has improved, with economic evidence suggesting that we are past the eye of the storm. Have the crisis talks been overblown? Today, we welcome Justin back to talk about the recovery outlook and long-term potential for CEE.
