In this study we look at the macroeconomic factors that differentiated ten countries of Central and Eastern Europe with respect to their response to the global crisis of 2008-2010. More precisely, we want to find out why some countries experienced larger GDP declines than others in 2009. We find that previous short term indebtedness and private credit regulation played an important role in affecting a country’s reaction to the global crisis. High short term indebtedness and significant private credit are likely to worsen a country’s response to the crisis. Therefore, in order to improve the evolution of country’s economy during financial crises, future governments may want to avoid short-term indebtedness and to control the amount of credit that financial institutions issue to the private sector.
