Abstract

The global economy is set to suffer from new US tariffs, which will remain above pre-2025 levels and drive trade disruptions, financial volatility, and a downgrade in euro area GDP this year. In CESEE, the tariffs and their spillover effects from the EU, especially Germany, will slow regional growth to 2.6% in 2025. Private consumption and investment continue to support growth, but exports will struggle amid the US-led trade war. Political instability, unresolved conflicts, and ongoing risks from the war in Ukraine—compounded by the potential for an unfavourable settlement or Ukrainian collapse—pose additional threats to CESEE’s economic outlook and regional security.
