Polish Launch of the New IMF “Regional Economic Issues” Report
and Preliminary Findings
of the 2014 IMF Economic Consultation with Poland


Time: 15:00, Tuesday, 27 May 2014

James Roaf, Senior Regional Resident Representative, IMF
dr. Maciej Krzak, Senior Expert, CASE


Growth in most CEE countries is recovering, but the region is facing an unusual constellation of external risks—potential escalation of geopolitical risks, possibility of protracted weak growth in the euro area, and further bouts of financial volatility along the path towards monetary policy normalization in advanced economies. At this event the IMF’s representative for the region will present the new report: Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe: External Funding Patterns and Risks. This report covers the outlook for the region and examines these risks, along with  related policy implications. The IMF has also just completed its annual consultation on Poland’s macroeconomic outlook and policies, and the presentation will highlight the team’s preliminary findings.

There is no registration fee.
**The event will be held in English**
