London analysts: the growth of EU economies in Central Europe are robust, but may slow down later

According to London financial analysts, the growth momentum of the Central and Eastern European economies was likely to remain robust in the second quarter, but due to euro area problems, this momentum is expected to slow down in the second half of the year.

One of London’s largest global financial-economic analysis houses, Capital Economics wrote in its study published on Thursday that the aggregate regional economic sentiment index (ESI), compiled by GDP weighting in June, suggests that the average annual growth of EU economies in Central and Eastern Europe was still 4 percent in the second quarter after the 4.3 percent that was measured in the first three months.
