| Summary: | The proximity of the European Union, the prospect of membership, and actual entry by the New Member States (NMS) increased economic and financial integration in the region, leading to fast economic growth based on sizeable capital inflows.

Hence, more prudent policies and further strengthening of policy frameworks, especially with respect to financial stability, seem warranted. |
