New World Bank Report Foresees Fragile Recovery for Six Countries in South East Europe
June 18, 2013--June 18, 2013—Signaling the end of the double-dip recession of 2012, the group of six South East European (SEE6) countries[1] is now making a fragile recovery: its combined real GDP is projected to grow 1.7 percent in 2013 after a 0.6 percent decline in 2012, according to the latest World Bank South East Europe Regular Economic Report (SEE RER), presented today in Pristina.
The drivers of recovery are the bounce back of electricity, agriculture, and some exports, partly because of improved weather conditions.
However, the recovery in SEE6 is still tentative. In some countries, non-performing loans, sluggish credit recovery, continued deleveraging, and fiscal consolidation are exerting a drag. Moreover, the recovery in SEE6 is unlikely to accelerate as long as the Eurozone remains in recession.
