While the region weathered rising macroeconomic pressures through H1 2022 and growth outperformed, persistently high inflation and easing external demand will have a profound impact on domestic consumption and output, driving Central European markets into a contraction through H1 2023.

Suspension of gas flows from Russia through the Nord Stream 1 and Yamal pipelines will further add to the existing operational challenges and likely require some form of gas rationing in the upcoming quarters, which will further weigh on economic performance. While inflationary pressures should begin to gradually subside in 2023, headline inflation will remain elevated and well above average EU levels, continuing to bite into real incomes and preventing a more substantial recovery of domestic consumption through H2 2023.
