### Summary and main findings
- The paper examines financial market comovements across European transition economies and compares their experience to that of their regions.
- Correlations in monthly indices of exchange market pressures can partly be explained by direct trade linkages, but not by measures of other fundamentals.
- Higher-frequency data during three crisis periods reveals the presence of structural breaks in the relationship between exchange-, but not stock markets.
- The reaction of markets during the Asian and Czech crises is muted.
- The pattern of high-frequency spillovers during the Russian crisis looks very similar to that observed in other regions during turbulent times.
