Abstract

This paper examines exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to prices in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, focusing on the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Romania. We employ a Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model to analyse the transmission of exchange rate shocks to imported, producer, and consumer prices. Results indicate significant heterogeneity in ERPT across countries and price stages. While all countries exhibit higher pass-through for import prices, variations emerge in producer and consumer price responses. Monetary policy credibility and trade openness are found to influence ERPT dynamics. The findings highlight the importance of understanding ERPT for effective monetary policy in the region. Our results highlight the need for policymakers to consider the complex interplay between exchange rate fluctuations and domestic prices when formulating monetary policy strategies.
