GDP data in the spotlight

Several CEE countries will release flash estimates of 2Q24 GDP growth. We already know how Czechia, Hungary and Serbia performed and this week we will find out about Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. In all four countries, we expect growth dynamics of close to or above 2% in y/y terms. Further, in Romania and Czechia we will see July’s inflation footprints. Croatia, Poland and Slovakia will release July’s inflation numbers as well, but it will either be the final estimate (Croatia and Poland) or following July’s HICP flash release (Slovakia). As for price development, Czechia will also publish July’s producer price. Finally, Romania and Serbia will release current account data for June, and Poland will publish trade data.
