Nevertheless, the group expects growth of between 2% and 3% in most CEE countries in 2025, above the growth rates in Western Europe”. The growth will mainly be driven by domestic demand in the region. Consumption will be supported by still-tight labor markets. Employment will grow, driven by service sectors, although job creation in industry has been decreasing in most countries.     For further information, please contact: mediarelations@unicredit.eu
