Not only rates are slashed (except for HU), but also QE measures like bond buying introduced (HU, PL, RO, HR). Untested QE measures may also backfire on financial markets. More rate cuts to come in Russia and Ukraine as well as in Romania and Serbia. • Substantial fiscal packages let fiscal deficits and public debt in CEE rise, depending on the package and the available fiscal space. Poorer countries already turned to IMF/IFI for external support, as IMF reacting quickly. May 20 Please note the risk notifications and explanations at the end of this document 7

Risk notifications and explanations Warnings ▪ Figures on performance refer to the past. Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future results and the development of a financial instrument, a financial index or a securities service. This is particularly true in cases when the financial instrument, financial index or securities service has been offered for less than 12 months. In particular, this very short comparison period is not a reliable indicator for future results. ▪ Performance of a financial instrument, a financial index or a securities service is reduced by commissions, fees and other charges, which depend on the individual circumstances of the investor. ▪ The return on an investment in a financial instrument, a financial or securities service can rise or fall due to exchange rate fluctuations. ▪ Forecasts of future performance are based purely on estimates and assumptions. Actual future performance may deviate from the forecast. Consequently, forecasts are not a reliable indicator for future results and the development of a financial instrument, a financial index or a securities service.

Disclaimer In emerging markets, there may be higher settlement and custody risk as compared to markets with established infrastructure. The liquidity of stocks/financial instruments may be influenced, amongst others, by the number of market makers. Both of these circumstances can result in elevated risk in relation to the safety of investments made in consideration of the information contained in this document. The information in this publication is current as per the latter’s creation date. It may be outdated by future developments, without the publication being changed. Unless otherwise expressly stated (www.raiffeisenresearch.com/special_compensation), the analysts employed by RBI are not compensated for specific investment banking transactions. Compensation of the author or authors of this report is based (amongst other things) on the overall profitability of RBI, which includes, inter alia, earnings from investment banking and other transactions of RBI. In general, RBI forbids its analysts and persons reporting to the analysts from acquiring securities or other financial instruments of any enterprise which is covered by the analysts, unless such acquisition is authorised in advance by RBI’s Compliance Department. RBI has put in place the following organisational and administrative agreements, including information barriers, to impede or prevent conflicts of interest in relation to recommendations: RBI has designated fundamentally binding confidentiality zones. These are typically units within credit institutions, which are isolated from other units by organisational measures governing the exchange of information, because compliance-relevant information is continuously or temporarily handled in these zones. Compliance-relevant information may fundamentally not leave a confidentiality zone and is to be treated as strictly confidential in internal business operations, including interaction with other units. This does not apply to the transfer of information necessary for usual business operations. Such transfer of information is limited, however, to what is absolutely necessary (need-to-know principle). The exchange of compliance-relevant information between two confidentiality zones may only occur with the involvement of the Compliance Officer.
