World Bank-Stalling Economic Growth in Emerging Europe and Central Asia
Oil price shock and slowdown in Russia impacting region's growth outlook
April 17, 2015--In the Emerging Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region, lower oil prices and the economic slowdown in Russia are weighing heavily on many economies in Eurasia, while countries in the Eurozone are benefiting from lower oil prices and a modest economic recovery.
Overall, economic growth in ECA will be almost non-existent in 2015, down from 1.8 percent last year, the World Bank said during the 2015 World Bank/IMF Spring Meetings.
This drop in growth largely comes from a major slowdown in Russia, which is caused by lower oil prices and a sharp economic downturn. Not counting Russia, the rest of the region is expected to grow by 2.8 percent in 2015.
