### Overview
- While a modest contraction in activity is expected this year for the Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) as a whole, this reflects widely divergent country-specific developments.
- Most economies are growing at a relatively healthy pace, with the exception of Russia and the rest of the CIS, which are in recession.
- CESEE growth is expected to turn positive in 2016, but risks are tilted to the downside.
- Regional financial markets have, generally, weathered well the recent bouts of market volatility stemming from worries about Grexit, slowing activity in China, and falling commodity prices.
- This update was published on November 13, 2015.
