12 Growth in 2018 will continue to be strong External demand expected to remain strong in the next quarters Consumption is solid as employment is growing rapidly and wages are accelerating Investment further boosted by pick-up of EU funds 12

18 Rapid decline of unemployment suggests that GDP is growing faster than potential At some stage, labor market shortages will become constraint on growth Growth can only continue at this pace if productivity picks up 18

30 RISKS TO THE OUTLOOK 30
31 Since WEO was published we have seen Weaker than expected growth in euro area Increased market turmoil, both in Euro area periphery Emerging market countries 31

44 Technological progress and efficiency advance much more slowly 7 TFP Growth (Percent, 5-year moving average) CIS Baltics SEE EU 1 0 CE SEE non-eu
45 Further exacerbated by the decline of the working age population 0.5 Working Age Population Growth (Population ages years, 5 year moving average) 0.0 SEE non-eu SEE EU CE-5 CIS -1.5 Baltics
46 Fall in TFP is a global problem 1.5 TFP growth (Percent, 5 year moving average) USA EU
47 Why has global TFP growth slowed? 47
48 Several interrelated factors have played a role To some extent measurement issues Weak corporate balance sheets, tight credit conditions which constrain investment in intangible assets An adverse feedback loop of weak aggregate demand, investment, and capital-embodied technological change Elevated economic and policy uncertainty 48
49 What can be done to boost TFP growth Address several problems Limited access to financial services (e.g. for SMEs) Infrastructural gaps Inefficient legal systems and other government services 49
50 Improve institutions, especially judiciary Judicial Independence, 2015 Impartial Courts, 2015 Below 25 percentile Between 25 and 75 percentile Above 75 percentile Source: World Economic Forum. Note: Worldwide distribution excluding LICs 50
51 Other institutional indicators also show a room to catch up to Western Europe World Governance Indicators, 2016 (Ranges from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong) governance performance) 51
52 BLR UVK BIH SRB MDA UKR RUS MNE ALB MKD SVN ROU BGR HRV CZE HUN LVA LTU SVK POL EST EU accession process should lead to improved institutions / completion of transition Average of Six EBRD Transition Indicators in EU countries non-eu countries Note: 2007 for Czech Republic. 52
53 Institutional reforms provide large efficiency gains Better institutions hold the promise of retaining emigration of skilled workers Effective protection of property rights provides stronger incentives for investment Institutions affect innovation and productivity through enhanced trust, cooperation, commitment, and contract enforcement 53
54 CONCLUSION 54
55 Concluding thoughts CESEE has done nicely in recent years with strong growth and rapidly declining unemployment Growth is not as high as pre-crisis The challenge will be to continue current growth rates Productivity growth will need to pick up; at some stage labor market will become constraint Reforms and improvements of institutions will help 55
