SOVEREIGN SESSION - Poland's Credit Profile Less Vulnerable to Coronavirus Shock than CEE Peers

What will be discussed:

• Whereas the coronavirus pandemic represents a significance shock to CEE sovereign' growth and fiscal metrics, its rating implications are limited due to fiscal buffers and supportive underlying credit trends.
• Any major recovery in CEE will depend on the resumption of international trade and resolution of supply chain blockages.
• Poland is - compared to CEE peers - less exposed to the coronavirus challenge thanks to its sizeable fiscal response and its more resilient economy in light of a relatively low dependence on exports and tourism.

Speakers:

• Piotr Janczak, Country Manager for Poland and Head of Relationship Management for CEE (Opening remarks)
• Dietmar Hornung, Associate Managing Director, Sovereign Risk Group (Moderator)
• Heiko Peters, Assistant Vice President - Analyst, Sovereign Risk Group (Presenter)
