In most countries of central, eastern and south-eastern Europe (CESEE), private growth and investment is still hampered by persistent financial distress in the corporate sector, as underlined in the recent IMF publication Regional Economic Issues (IMF, 2015). The corporate sector in most CESEE countries took on excessive debt before the 2008 crisis, exposing them to the pressure of having to realign their debt levels in the aftermath of the crisis. This resulted in a typical balance sheet recession with simultaneous and painful deleveraging, which not only aggravated the overall economic downturn but also worsened the prospect of economic recovery. The IMF report shows that seven years into the crisis the debt problem in many CESEE countries is still pervasive, mostly because the institutional frameworks required to ensure a timely and smooth deleveraging were lacking or inefficient.
