For North America, Western Europe and Japan in aggregate, real GDP is expected to grow by under 2.5% in 1995. Economic data for eastern Europe and nations of the former Soviet Union is included.

External financial developments in the transition economies

Article Abstract:

The eastern European economies' external financial positions underwent an uneven evolution in the early months of 1995.

The external financial positions of the European members of the Confederation of Independent States and of the Baltic states are also discussed.
