EMERGING EUROPE

Emerging Europe (subsuming the Baltic Republics, East Central and Southeastern Europe, and the Western CIS) has become Europe’s most dynamic area:

1. •High GDP and per capita income growth
   

2. •Expanding purchasing power and domestic demand
   

3. •Rising labor productivity
   

4. •Modernizing infrastructure
   

5. •Improving technology base
   

These attributes are spurring investments by Western European companies pursuing growth opportunities outside their home markets. Manufacturers headquartered in Asia and the Americas are launching operations in emerging Europe, whose geographic locale renders it an ideal platform to service the gigantic pan-European market. Private equity firms and strategic investors around the world are expanding their emerging European portfolios, illustrating the region’s attractive valuations and business-friendly conditions.

The Global Economics Company brings deep regional expertise to help clients formulate and execute growth strategies in emerging Europe. This Web Presentation summarizes the results of GEC’s study of the economic/commercial landscape of emerging Europe.
