The recovery in Emerging Europe has moved onto a firmer footing in recent months and we expect growth to accelerate over the coming quarters. However, the recovery is likely to be patchy and uneven.

All told, we expect GDP in Emerging Europe to grow by 2.0% in 2014 and 2.5% in 2015, up from 1.8% in 2013. In most countries, inflation is likely to be subdued, allowing monetary policy to remain loose in order to support the recovery. However, Russia and Turkey are important exceptions.
