What Eastern EuropEuropean country do you think will be the first to catch up to the West?
8 years: Estonia

catch up to the West in what respect? Social justice, trans parades, encouragement of mental illness, police state surveillance, number of blacks and muslims?

None will catch up, EU simply won't allow them to. Some western countries might decline soon though.

EU is hardly doing anything but shoveling money to eastern european shitholes.
>>58762413
It doesn't happen that often though.
catching up to the west isn't worth it, the west is dying
>>58762413
The whole point of EU is to keep the center of European economy in Germany and surrounding countries.
>>58762413
yeah shoveling money for construction projects done by Western firms thereby cycling it right back to the West
>>58762330
Norway has a higher GDP per capita than Germany. In fact all the Nordic countries do afaik. But which economy is actually stronger?
It is only straightforward if your mind works as a single cell organ.

There is no reason to assume that Finlands, Denmarks or Swedens economies are not as strong as Germany. Norway is an obvious exception because of oil.

Are you dumb in the brain? The economy that has the highest gdp per capita is strongest. That's literally what gdp measures, the strength of an economy.
>>58762740
Answer my question.
>>58762740
are you saying our economy is stronger than chinas? they can buy us
>>58762790
Yes Nordic countries have a stronger economy is the answer; it's not even up to debate.
>>58761852
when did the micks get so rich wtf
>>58762740
This
It doesn't matter how dependent it is on one commodity (oil for example)
Robustness and complexity are something different
>>58762829
Per capita, it is. What? Meaning the average joe lives better here than in china.
>>58760970
Nah
This country is stagnating and politics are without any vision
They keep bringing more factories even when there is 100k open jobs in manufacturing so they started importing ukranians
They are bribed by koreans and germans investors so they keep salaries low

>>58760299
Poland along with the Baltics,Hungary and Chechoslovakia have already surpassed Greece tho, by 2020 we're going to fully reach Balkan level economy and society.
>>58762977
Per capita means per person, how much income an economy generates per person. That is what people usually compare when comparing gdp. They are not comparing total gdp.
>>58762961
i actually have a ma in economics.
Poland could catch up in 10 years if their public moral wasn't shit.
Image it: A country exporting jobs to foreign countries, then using that cash to build companies in Poland.
Its sorta amazing. But it will not really get anywhere because the government is shit, and public moral is worse.
Image: If its everyones, its no ones, so nobody will care for it.
Image a entire state not taking care of itself.
>>58763012
It's what people who are mentally still stuck in the cold war era use to refer to countries with a smaller GDP.

All the "richest" eastern european countries as czechis, slovenia and estonia are now in middle income trap and imho only estonia will break it
Czech & Baltic: 4~6 years (if they haven't already)
Poland, Slovakia & Hungary: 10~20 years
Rest: +50years with a little luck or if muslims/russians don't fuck up
Rossiya ofc
ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA
>>58763086
>A country exporting jobs to foreign countries, then using that cash to build companies in Poland.
This right here is why Eastern Europe will never catch up.
Like, people here are hoping we get into the EU so they would be able to work abroad. The """help""" EE countries get from EU is literally nothing compared to what people from EE are doing to help keep Germany's, Austria's, Denmark's, etc, economy stable. It's fucking pathetic when people from those countries are complaining about the money EU gives to EE countries.
>>58762961
Capitalism will fall and then chaos Latvia Estonia will occupied by you brothers Russia poll and will be the Westland like china Balkans will fight for life europe in chaos with Muslims and you know the rest freedom will come though the sky like a 500kg propaganda with extra glitter pew pew everywhere everyone from space gonna laugh with us (ΖΗΤΩ Ο ΣΟΣΣΙΑΛΙΣΜΟΣ ΚΑΙ Η ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΚΗ ΤΑΞΗ)
>>58763277
>if muslims/russians don't fuck up
The probability of that happening is probably in the single digits
>>58763153
Don't yo mean higher? Also, I've been to Eastern Europe and things looked pretty good; clean streets, renovated traditional architecture, enough food for everyone, lots of tourists, very low % of minorities (aka Africans, Muslims or Asians) and the prices were low on pretty much everything. So what exactly do people in this thread want?
>>58763277
Portugal and Greece are not really western anymorr, they are poorfags as us
We are talking about germany, uk tier

But we're already doing this 2bh.

Only 3 more years left with them.
>>58763259
we just need reforms, we still have state-owned businesses
>>58763384
>the prices were low on pretty much everything
here prices are the same if not more expensive than in Germany
>>58763384
So you were in 2-3 capital cities right?
Thats not really accurate image.
Yeah prices are lower here(excpet groceries, electronicks and clothes) but purchasing power is west is still 40-50% higher than here
>>58763384
They want to become like Russia.
>>58763294
but wouldnt they send the money home too? do they literally want to move away forever?
>>58763462
wot city
>catch up
Catch up to what? Unsustainable social and economic policies? Cultural suicide? Welfare state-ism?
All right, you have slightly higher quality of life, and just because of this you think you are 'right' when it comes to how entire state should be? Lolno, if anyone is going to do any catching up, you people are going to catch onto what we are doing over here, or you are going to disappear entirely, and when you are finally over saturated with muslims enough, YOU will have a lower quality of life than us, and if this is your only metric, than you would end up being 'wrong'.
Thank you for reading and please correct me if I am somewhere wrong.
>>58763384
>So what exactly do people in this thread want?
I don't want to go full ad hominem, but just read and analyze how people "think".
>>58763481
How much money do you think they are able to send home? 100 euros a month? 200? Life in the west is expensive, they can't send too much. Most of it is still spent in the country they work in.
>>58763462

I saw some stats for immigration from EE to UK
3 million people from EE worked there since 2004. Slovaks were the second least likely going to stay and Poles the most
I guess it depends on the size of a diaspora. Large one can create networks for new arrivals and they won't assimilate or leave that quickly
>>58763519

>>58763456
Then what can you say about us? We are considered part of the "West" and our GDP is very high yet everything is extremely expensive here.
>>58763460
Forgive me for my ignorance in economics but what is "purchasing power" and how does that effect your life?
>>58761852
That is not adjusted to cost of living. This map is accurate and easy to understand. So basically Poland is the Europe average, and we are either richer or poorer than Polacks.
>>58763678
How much you can afford with your wage adjusting to local prices
So with czech 1k czech eage you can buy 1k beers in pub
With german 3k wage you can buy 1.5k beers in pub
German purchasing poweris 50% higher
>>58763805
kek come on man
>>58763777
Actually ppp is adjusted to prices
Purchasing power and gdp are two different things
You can have "high" gdp but when all companies are foreign and they profit gies with them you are fucked
>>58763678
that's why you get paid 2 as much
>>58763805
in what german village is beer 2€?
>>58763777
looking good 2bh
but we need to take over Slovenia and Czechia and strengthen our dominance in Intermarium
>>58763944
Its adjusted with Big Mac index which is bullshit. On numbeo cost of living is much more accurate and it counts prices of many goods and services.
>>58763259
This
We will never catch up if we don't improve our education and R&D
Deindustrialisation and reliance on one industry is going to hit us very hard without developed tertiary sector

that's a dogmatic communist nonsense
All of these maps are bullshit because they all focus on global economy and completely disregard local economy, in which people live. What if people are focused on producing for themselves, instead of producing for someone outside the borders? They get low meaningless numbers.
Who cares about participating in the global economy when you can just build everything you need for yourself. When they declare the biggest economic crisis in history, nothing changes over here. When they declare the biggest prosperity in history, again nothing changes.
Its all bullshit.

if a nation has a high industrial capacity the products are cheap and the PPP would be higher

that's not very reliable
>>58764106

According to that, Estonian purchasing power is 15% lower than the Indian ffs
How does that make sense?
>>58764419
*15% higher
>>58764302
So you are saying that the standard of living in your country is over 50% higher than Croatia?I don't think so, I think its pretty much the same.
>>58764353
On mobile but I am pretty sure they are using inflation basket from national stats office
>>58764419
it makes sense if most products in India are dirt cheap, which they probably are, considering shit quality and billions of workers
>>58764284
And if a nation has higher industrial capacity than it needs.... its a waste.
Lets say Serbia starts up the biggest, most huge ship building heavy industry. Well it would be a huge waste to us Serbs.. sure, it might make money for us because everyone else has a sea, but we dont, so we dont need this high industrial capacity.
You need what you need, and global economy is bullshit that keeps crashing 24/7 because its based on yet more bullshit. I do realize the concept can be extremely successful in theory but so far all I see out of it, is waste creation.
>>58764463
No, I'm not saying that
I'm just saying that your map is a fucking gabage and you should check your souces before posting
>>58764516
>it might make money for us
> so we don't need this
do you understand what you wrote? Theoretically you could have a huge ship building industry which brings in jobs, infrastructure, etc. but you don't want it because... you'd have to import stuff like cars and tractors?
>>58764481
Yeah but I doubt that average wage in India is 500€ after taxes(numbeo number)
>>58764581
I think you just triggered because on this map your country is a bigger shithole than you thought it was

Its a profit that depends on other people to work. The more parts a system has, the more likely it is to fail.
Why depend on some people a million kilometers away? What if he decides not to buy? This model calculates all humans as 100% logical beings who never do any dumb shit. Which is why it keeps failing again and again and again and again.

Your country just joins a 100000 nations coalition and goes to war against middle east when your master United States demands it.
"Global economy" is just a buzzword, and people who participate in it just take stuff by force.
Your trading is bullshit. Its all highly political. Which is why you put economic sanctions on all potentionally highly profitable businesses that are not aligned with United States. Makes zero business/profit sense, but yet you do it every time for the sake of politics.
So screw your global economy, its just a code word for being a United States peon that can get sacrificed at any time.

You're right about cultural suicide, unstable social and economic policies and welfare statism.
But Serbia has the exact same problem.
>Unsustainable social and economic policies
Serbia likely has one of the highest corruption rates in Europe
>Cultural Suicide
Every young person in Serbia wants to leave because of how shit it is. Demographically Serbia is ultra-fucked
>Welfare state-ism
Literally Serbian pension and government corruption. In my opinion Serbia is no less of a welfare state as anyone else. Maybe even more so in some cases.
So really we are all in the same boat desu.

The nominal data is useful if you want to purchase say, Ipads, mercedes cars etc, anything you import - purchasing power parity won't help you there.

that means they needed something like patents or real estate and the company they bought wasn't easy to make profitable

why not just flood the market and let the competition die anyway instead of wasting money buying it? This doesn't make sense

You guys already do whatever you can , it's about the society . They ruin everything . Most of them haven't even left their citites to see what is like in another country.
The old generatin from our country is dying anyway , i wish i could burn them alive to make them suffer but i can't because it's illegal .
>>58766109
why the fuck do you care about the EU so much if you're not in it?
just join russian federation already
>>58765997
It doesn't, at least in Slovenia. The only real difference is that our wages are not that high and our welfare is something you cannot live with normaly. Which is somethimes a positive thing since it repels the immigrants. But as far as anything else goes, Slovenia isn't much different than France for example. Pic related, it's my hometown, no one could say wether this picture was taken in Eastern or Western Europe.

It was great opprtunity in early 90s, local conpanies so sk survived transofrmation but they were still have very good value/price products
Than their western competion bought them with loan from western bank, shut down them and flooded market with their own product. Our companes had no acces to cheap loans and very abosoltely unpreperwd for this.
Of course there are good exaples too(skoda etc.)

My bad about the table. Still, 15 years from now on is nowhere near realistic considering the current difference between GDP growth of Poland and EU25 is like 2%. I'd say 30 years is a safer estimation, and that's assuming no major fuckups with would send our economy down the shitter once again.
>>58766340
if the local companies had good products for good value that means they were probably making money. In this case a) they would be able to easily get a loan, even from a foreign bank and b) it would make 100x more sense to buy them and develop their profit further instead of shutting them down and risking the market with your new, unknown brand

I wish the EU would tell us to fuck off already so we could turn our backs to them and never mention them again.
The way it is now the EU is very relevant to my interest. So if my presence annoys you feel free to look for a safe space elsewhere.
>>58765440
Why does it affect me that Poland can stand on its own too feet better now? Does Poland's exports justify the investment the British tax payer puts in? Why should I be happy that we've funded your country?

not that I complain, or give rat's arse really. but i realize the reason why Turkey is not considered to be european, because we're culturally different than eastern europe. you're not nordic because of the same reason. now shut the fuck up you miserable piece of shit at least you're not a cuck country.
>>58766860
Yeah, Vučić is a populist authoritarian shithead, but wasn't he just re-elected with 48% (no one ever got this much here) on a platform of joining the EU?
I guess that's a strong indication of what majority of Serbs want and it's not an autarky
>>58767020
shots fired
>>58766774
From a simple, purely protectionist perspective, you might have a point.
But for better or worse, our economies are linked -- and Poland's prosperity means less that the British taxpayer will put in.
Eventually, it'll develop into a more full economy, and serve as a more of a market for British (and other) exports.
>>58766493
Huh, Romania's doing pretty good, even though they joined 3 years later.

>Serbia
Seems about right, sadly.
>>58767075
Wrong. Those were parliamentary votes (how many people can every party put into parliament), he flopped hard, and he stole votes on half of the voting places, and those places had to re-vote.
Anyway he lost 1/3 of his parliament people.
Nobody cares for voting for this kind of bullshit, 60+ % of people didnt even go to vote. I also didnt even give a shit to go to vote.
But when the EU voting starts, I will go that day to vote against EU. Hell even if we enter EU with something like a 50.1% of the vote, we are going to protest so hard, that it's not going to happen. And by we I mean people who hate EU (right wing, most of police and military (who let us burn the American embassy last time we protested)) and so on.
There's no way in hell leftists or EU win anything in here. Almost all able bodied males here are nationalists. And we all know that all votes arent really created equal.
>>58765561
>We would literally have to grow 5,5% every year and EU25 - 0% to be able to catch up that quickly.
That's not inconceivable. Poland has seen decades of continuous growth, while (all?) other EU nations have experienced years of recession... less than zero% growth.
>>58767075
I heard the last elections were rigged because a far right party was about to win 5% of the votes, which would put an end to Vučić's party supermajority in the parliament.
>>58767075
Majority of Serbs are dumb as bricks if that is your point, I agree. The more south you go the dumber we are and more votes Vucic gets.
We have the same problem as EU but on a smaller scale. EVERYONE wants to live in fucking Belgrade. And that is not good for the South of the country.
My point is EU benefits the West much more that the East even though money is being given to Eastern countries.
>>58767186
>The final blow was the adoption of Islam.
this desu
funny thing most modern Turks aren't even genetically Turkic, but instead native Anatolian and Greek. I wished the Turkics who cucked us into being Turks kept Tengrism instead of isl*m

Whatever. I really don't give a shit
>>58760299
I could see Czech, Estonia somewhat catch up in the next 30 years or so, and probably Slovenia and Slovakia too.
The rest will most likely not be in our time.
>>58767266
Just curious, but where do you see Serbia's future going without the EU?
will the economic growth continue in poland? Do a lot of people have mortgages and how are they managing to pay them off if the wages are so low? by working abroad?
>>58767574
>will the economic growth continue in poland?
Yes, we're at 3,5% now and hopefully it'll rise to 4,5% soon.
> Do a lot of people have mortgages
No.
>>58767620
isn't it mostly concentrated amongst the big cities? hence the people from the villages leaving the country
>>58767741
Yeah but Poland isn't really centralized that much. Warsaw is 2,5 million in a 40 million country. Second one Kraków is 1,5 million.
We have lots of 100k cities though.
>>58767556
I see a Serbian Serbia.
We stick to the friends we had for the last 1400 years. We make our own laws. We continue to cooperate economically with all friendly people, China built a bunch of shit recently here.
We are not subservient to NATO interests, to immigration quotas, to laws written in Brussel or where ever, and our lives do not depend on some foreign markets no one here ever even heard of. We do not tolerate our cultural sites being demolished by refugees or anyone else.
And we continue to pursue Kosovo and other historically Serbian lands that were forcefully taken from us.
We might be poorer for it but oh well, I dont care. Actually I am studying chemistry at EU certified uni and I could get a job in EU easy, hell I might even go and work in EU, but I just dont want my home country to join EU. I know how this sounds but I still dont care. At the end of the day I am retiring in my Serbian Serbia.

depends on the period of time we're talking about here
short term - probably, yeah, although the ruling party is trying their hardest to change that

Only 13% of Polish households do, which is i think the third lowest result in the entire EU
>how are they managing to pay them off if the wages are so low? by working abroad?
yes, or by taking a loan in swiss francs
>>58767556

I honestly would because we pay almost the same amount of tax and yet we get so much less in return, the 1 km road in front of my apartmemt building has been in construction for 7 years now, they kust finished two lanes and had to destroy them because they forgot to put in the pipelines beneath it
