13 Markets seem to anticipate US fiscal stimulus and higher US growth. What does this mean for CESEE? Stronger US growth Will boost exports, but at risk of more protectionism May boost commodity prices Stronger dollar Helps exporters Negative balance sheet effects for dollar-indebted Higher financing costs Hurts countries with weak growth May help countries that are advanced in the cycle 13
14 For CESEE overall impact likely to be modest But this will depend on US policies, which are not quite clear at this stage. There are also risks: Increase in US protectionism, which could lead to trade war With already low unemployment, large fiscal stimulus could lead to much faster than expected monetary tightening. 14
15 Indeed, projections for CESEE roughly unchanged GDP growth in 2017 according to different WEO vintages (Percent) WEO Oct-16 WEO Jan CIS Euro area Baltics CE-5 SEE non-eu SEE EU 15
16 Bigger risk may be Europe. Unhappiness with EU has increased sharply in past decade Level of confidence in the European Union (Percent of population surveyed by Eurobarometer) 16
17 Further fueled by concerns about migrations and economy Most important issues facing the EU countries in 2016 (According to Eurobarometer) 17
18 There are a number of important elections in 2017 French presidential elections German federal elections Dutch general elections (Possibly) Italian general elections 18
19 How will this affect further expansion to Western Balkans? 19
20 Remaining and future challenges 20

26 Fiscal deficits have declined to more modest levels Fiscal balance (Percent of GDP)
27 But public debt is no longer low Public debt (Percent of GDP)
28 In past 25 years, region has made tremendous progress 28
29 But more recently, convergence has slowed Real GDP per capita (Percent of Germany) CE-5 50 Baltics SEE EU CIS SEE non-eu
30 Employment to total population ratio (percent) Further convergence will require both higher labor input and labor productivity Labor productivity and employment to total population ratio, Flags size reflects GDP per capita in 2015 (PPP-adjusted) Labor productivity (PPP adjusted 2014 USD, thousands) 30
31 Labor input looks relatively high, but this is partly because a large share of the population is between 15 and 64 (working age) Population ages (percent of total population) CIS SEE non-eu CE-5 SEE EU Baltics Germany Note: Simple average of given countries. 31
32 Employment rate (percent of working age pop.) If we compare employment to working age population rate differences in labor input with Germany are more pronounced Labor productivity and utilization, Flags size reflects GDP per capita in 2015 (PPP-adjusted) Labor productivity (PPP adjusted 2014 USD, thousands) 32
33 Indeed, employment rates are still well below Germany with the exception of Baltics 80 Employment rate (percent) DEU 45 Baltics SEE non-eu 65 CE SEE EU CIS Note: Simple average of given countries. 33
34 Aging will accelerate in the next decade Working age (15-64) population growth (percent) 34

37 GDP per capita While higher labor input will help, higher capital stock and thereby labor productivity may be even more important Capital stock and GDP per capita, 2015 (thousands of 2010 EUR) y = x R² = LUX Employment to population ratio and GDP per capita, 2015 (percent and thousands of 2010 EUR) y = x R² = LUX IRL BEL DNK SWE GBP DEU NLD ITA FIN AUT SVK CYP FRA MLT LVA SVN ESP POL PRT GRC LTU ESTCZE HRV BGRROU HUN IRL DNK SWE NLD GBP BEL FIN DEU AUT ITA FRA CYP MLT ESP SVN GRC CZE SVK PRT POL HUN LTU EST HRV LVA BGR ROU Capital stock per capita Employment to population ratio 37

40 Low investment not only problem: TFP growth has slowed as well Average total factor productivity growth (percent) 40
41 So what should be done? 41
42 Address factors that might constrain productivity (REI May-16) Insufficient protection of property rights and Inefficient legal systems and other government services Limited access to financial services (e.g. for SMEs) Infrastructural gaps 42
43 Improve public investment management and tax administration (REI Nov-16) Closing efficiency gaps in public investment and tax collection could bring sizable benefits. Further upgrades of public investment management should focus on improving allocation and implementation frameworks and procedures. Improvements in tax administration should aim at reducing compliance gaps. Design of reforms should include elements that help reduce resistance to reforms and build the support base for their successful completion. 43
