Growing opportunities in Central Europe for apparel

Poland

Poland is the only European country to achieve uninterrupted GDP growth from 2009 through 2013. But its pace of economic expansion slowed in 2012, and further moderated to 1.6 per cent last year. Poland has textile imports of $10,443 million and Indias current exports is around $217 million. Improving consumer and business confidence and flattening joblessness will likely improve private consumption and investment.

Czech Republic

The Czech economy is forecast to resume growth of 1.8 per cent in 2014, and the countrys pace of recovery has been constrained by the sluggishness in the early aftermath of the European debt crisis. Consumer spending can gather steam in view of the subsiding worries over climbing unemployment and further fiscal retrenchment, while exports are poised to revive slowly as demand from most of the countrys leading European trading partners strengthens.
