Abstract
With reasonably low inflation and positive GDP growth rates in most of Europe’s transition economies since the late 1990s, the focus in the economic policy debate has gradually shifted from stabilization and recovery to questions concerning long-term growth and convergence. The new key challenge is to establish a policy environment that will facilitate catching up: there is a growing consensus that the transition economies will not be able to benefit fully from EU membership unless the development gap to the rest of Europe is reduced.
