Macroeconomic snapshot – Falling inflation in a very low interest rate environment − Falling inflation in all CEE countries
− Driven mainly by subdued fuel and food prices − Hungary: inflation is at 38-year low reflecting administrative price reductions and lack of domestic demand − Romania: better agricultural performance expected to drive down food prices in 2013 − Low inflation expected to raise the purchasing power of consumers
− Very low interest rate environment − Historically low base rates in Czech Republic (0.05%), Romania (4.50%), and Hungary (3.80%) − Despite low rates currencies have performed relatively stable − Low rates expected to support economic growth across the region
