13 Nevertheless we worry in some countries about increasing vulnerabilities in the run-up up to euro adoption.
14 Macro Vulnerabilities External imbalances are growing, especially in the Baltics Key Macro Indicators 26 (in percent of GDP) CE4 Baltics Romania & Bulgaria EM countries* Asia 1997** General government deficit C/A balance External debt Public debt Reserves/ST debt Credit growth (in percent) * EM countries - Argentina,Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Peru, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, data for 25. ** Korea, Indonesia, Thailand.

15 Macro Vulnerabilities... but this should not surprise in an environment of rapid growth and stillevolving institutions. Policy dilemma: how to reduce vulnerabilities without impeding the convergence process? Analytical challenge: how to distinguish natural convergence from overheating
16 Main Concerns Lack of fiscal adjustment Credit growth Currency mismatches External imbalances Cross-border contagion risks
17 Lack of fiscal adjustment
18 Despite healthy growth, public debt ratios are not declining in key CECs. 8 CECs. Public debt (percent of GDP) Maximum prudent debt level HU PL SK CZ BU LT RO LV EE EU Source: EC Spring Forecast 27

26 Build-up up of currency mismatches in the non-financial sector

36 Creating flexible economies

39 Conclusions Headline numbers look good, but vulnerabilities are growing, especially in the Baltics ( Running with your shoelaces open ) So far, CECs have weathered market turmoil surprisingly well Rather than using the favorable environment to reduce risks, some governments are pouring oil into the fire by pursuing procyclical fiscal policies Preparation for euro adoption is overly focused on meeting Maastricht criteria
40 Policy challenges Cool off economies during a surge in capital inflows and rapid credit growth => tightening fiscal policies is often the only available tool Financial sector supervision, including of cross-border exposures Prepare for euro adoption by creating flexible economies and sound institutions
