In the media

As Head of Economic Research for the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region at Coface, I regularly provide expert commentary to international and regional media on macroeconomics, corporate insolvencies, the effect of geopolitics on growth, trade dynamics and country-specific developments across the region.

Below is a curated, non-exhaustive selection of media appearances. Journalists working on economic, political-economy or CEE-related stories are welcome to contact me for interviews, quotes or background analysis.
