According to conventional classification, which is shared by the United Nations, the region of Central and Eastern Europe includes all the Eastern European countries, formerly part of the socialist camp.Of course, the countries of Eastern Europe, it is also the Baltic States, ie Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.All of them are characterized by transition from a centrally planned, socialist to a market.
If we consider key economic indicators, which can boast of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, it is immediately obvious that the most highly developed in this part of the world is considered to be the Czech Republic.She concedes Hungary, Slovakia and Poland.If you mention the industry, its main feature - a large part of heavy industry and engineering.This fact is also connected with the socialist past of all these countries.After the collapse of the Union of the Eastern European countries have experienced significant turmoil and trials since disappeared old markets, sources of raw materials and logistics solutions.
As elsewhere in Europe, the countries of Eastern Europe are trying to preserve the ecological balance and reduce the production of such minerals as coal and metal ores.The scope and role of production decrease.However, restructuring and other industries are very vigorously, especially in regard to science and knowledge-based industries, for which you need to understand the production of electronics, robotics, automation, and various space technologies.
most stable and profitable are industries such as food, textile, printing and wood processing.Agriculture, which is traditionally proud of East European countries, too, through the stages of reform and change, get used to the market system, is transformed.Rather large and weighty cooperatives were small private farms.That they own most of the land in the country suitable for agriculture.
Eastern Europe, the list of which is not too long, and it is still characterized by the traditional and already familiar high standard of living, especially in comparison with the more eastern neighbors.National governments that came to power after the collapse of the Union, carried out a state policy, which is aimed at the accomplishment of major social reforms and transformations.
Eastern European countries can boast a much smaller decline in the level and quality of life.These states are spending on social benefits as much as the state can afford to Western Europe.In Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary to provide contributions of different social groups and at all the highest in the world.
States, these are characterized by relatively long duration of life of its people, which is constantly trying to increase, as well as the level of education and, very importantly, the real value of GDP per capita income, considering, of course, the cost of living in each country.In general, these countries, of course, less prosperous than countries in Western Europe, but, nevertheless, a very prosperous and successful.
