10 One man’s loss is another man’s gain? Post-crisis challenges and opportunities in CEE
Supported by Wolf Theiss Attorneys at Law
The global economic crisis has caused a „hard landing“ for the CEE region, but its recovery is expected to be strong in comparison with developed markets. This session will focus on the tension between the region’s reputation in the aftermath of the crisis and the spectrum of opportunities that are available in reality. It will further cover the latest macroeconomic outlook for the region. The participants are also invited to discuss the real world impact of the crisis on various industries and sectors in CEE.
