•     Contrary to earlier crises we see strong monetary easing also in EM, including CEE. 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.

 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.

 Responsible for this publication: Raiffeisen Bank International AG („RBI“)
 RBI is a credit institution according to §1 Banking Act (Bankwesengesetz) with the registered office Am Stadtpark 9, 1030 Vienna, Austria.
 Raiffeisen RESEARCH is an organisational unit of RBI.
 Supervisory authority: As a credit institution (acc. to § 1 Austrian Banking Act; Bankwesengesetz) Raiffeisen Bank International AG is subject to
 the supervision by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA, Finanzmarktaufsicht) and the National Bank of Austria (OeNB, Oesterreichische
 Nationalbank). Additionally, RBI is subject to the supervision by the European Central Bank (ECB), which undertakes such supervision within the
 Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), which consists of the ECB and the national responsible authorities (Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 -
 SSM Regulation). Unless set out herein explicitly otherwise, references to legal norms refer to norms enacted by the Republic of Austria.
 This document is for information purposes and may not be reproduced or distributed to other persons without RBI’s permission. This document
 constitutes neither a solicitation of an offer nor a prospectus in the sense of the Austrian Capital Market Act (Kapitalmarktgesetz) or the Austrian
 Stock Exchange Act (Börsegesetz) or any other comparable foreign law. An investment decision in respect of a financial instrument, a financial
 product or an investment (all hereinafter “product”) must be made on the basis of an approved, published prospectus or the complete
 documentation for such a product in question, and not on the basis of this document.
 This document does not constitute a personal recommendation to buy or sell financial instruments in the sense of the Austrian Securities
 Supervision Act (Wertpapieraufsichtsgesetz). Neither this document nor any of its components shall form the basis for any kind of contract or
 commitment whatsoever. This document is not a substitute for the necessary advice on the purchase or sale of a financial instrument, a
 financial product or advice on an investment. In respect of the sale or purchase of one of the above mentioned products, your banking advisor

 This analysis is fundamentally based on generally available information and not on confidential information which the party preparing the

  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.
