What Eastern Europe’s Experience After the Crash Can Teach the World About Increasing Economic and Political Integration
Much attention has been given to Western Europe and its southern countries in the wake of the great financial crisis, but the developing region of Eastern and Central Europe has largely been overlooked despite its serious trauma.
In this next INET interview, Erik Berglöf, chief economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, catches us up on what has happened in this important region in the last few years. Berglöf, the newest of INET’s governing board members, is also the primary author of the EBRD’s new report “Transition Report 2010: Recovery and Reform.” This free report is filled with facts and analysis of an area that spans from Croatia through Russia and includes even parts of Central Asia.
