"[This year] will bring another round of regulated price increases for most EU8+2 countries, with the impact on inflation likely to be most pronounced in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania and Romania," World Bank lead economist Thomas Blatt Laursen, the report's primary author, said. "At the same time, the recent sharp decline in oil prices could help dampen inflationary pressures in 2007."
Ove godine sledi još jedna tura povećanja regulisanih cena u većini zemalja EU8+2, pa će efekat na inflaciju biti izraženiji u Mađarskoj, Češkoj Republici, Estoniji, Litvaniji i Rumuniji”, napisao je vodeći ekonomista Svetske banke i glavni autor izveštaja Tomas Blat Laursen. “Istovremeno, nedavni značajan pad cena nafte mogao bi da pomogne da se u 2007. godini odagna inflatorni pritisak.”
