EBRD calls for urgent structural reforms as growth slumps
Slowdown in Russia is new source of weakness in region
May 10, 2013--The EBRD has called for urgent structural reforms in emerging Europe after winding back its economic forecasts.

It said the worsening mood reflected a slowdown particularly in Russia, even as the threat from turmoil in the eurozone appeared to be abating. Weaker activity in other large economies such as Poland and Turkey was also weighing on the outlook.
However, the report said the biggest downside risk to the outlook remained a possible further deterioration of the Eurozone crisis.
