Risk level:Significant risk
Risk factors:The judgement of the stock markets is profoundly influenced by the changes of the domestic and foreign macroeconomic environment. A common characteristic of the countries of the Central-European region is that they have entered the EU recently. Nevertheless, the political and economic evaluation of the different countries is diverse. Because of all that, one has to take into account the risks coming from the changes of the currency and interest rates of the different countries. Besides the macroeconomic factors, the individual risk coming from the operation of the individual companies can drastically affect the stock prices.
