CEE plays catch-up on cash management

Central and eastern Europe is not a single entity when it comes to cash management. EU members in the region are committed to the union’s payment principles. By contrast, Russia and other non-EU states have much more ground to make up. Laurence Neville reports.

CONTRARY TO ALMOST all expectations, central and eastern Europe has avoided catastrophe following the financial crisis. While Greece, Ireland and some other western European periphery countries continue to totter on the brink of default, CEE has defied the doomsayers and – following tough action by regional governments and a strong performance from the German economy – has returned to growth. UniCredit expects growth of 3.6% in the CEE region for 2010 and 3.8% in 2011.
