Republic of Croatia: Selected Issues Paper
July 1, 2011--AN ASSESSMENT OF BALANCE SHEET RISKS IN CROATIA1
With large external and foreign currency indebtedness and limited reserves, Croatia’s economy is highly vulnerable to macroeconomic and financial shocks. While most of these
vulnerabilities were built up during the pre-crisis boom years, the crisis has further worsened the situation, exposing Croatian economy’s weak fundamentals and a lack of
policy space.
A sustained recovery hinges on improving competitiveness, maintaining market
confidence, and reducing vulnerabilities, which would require a multi-faceted
macroeconomic and structural policy response.

Turkey becomes world’s fastest growing economy in Q1
June 30, 2011--Turkey's gross domestic product (GDP) clinched 11 percent growth, amounting to TL 25.90 billion, in the January-March period of this year over the same months of a year ago, making the country the world's fastest growing country during this period.
Turkey seems not to have retreated from the noteworthy growth of 8.9 percent witnessed in 2010. The better-than-expected growth figures were immediately put under the spotlight by the government. “As the global financial crisis has shaken many developed countries, Turkey managed to clinch a record-high growth figure. We have become the world's fastest growing economy,” Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said during a parliamentary group meeting. Foreign Trade Minister Zafer Çağlayan told the CNBC-e station when the figures were revealed that he expects the year-end growth figure will be around 7 percent.

How to Accelerate and Sustain Growth in Ukraine?
June 30, 2011--Ukraine's economy is slowly getting back on track to growth. But even as the country recovers from the beating it took in the global financial crisis, its economic foundation is fragile. Reforms are needed if Ukraine and its people are to get the most out of the global recovery in coming years.
A new World Bank report points the way forward by examining what drove growth before the financial crisis and why GDP declined so much in its wake. The Country Economic Memorandum "Strategic Choices to Accelerate and Sustain Growth in Ukraine" argues that growth between 2000 and mid 2008 was mainly driven by external factors, such as unprecedented trade gains and massive capital inflows. These are unlikely to support growth as much during the recovery. The report also pinpoints structural vulnerabilities that were ignored in boom times and that, unchanged, may hamper future growth.
