'A major source of vulnerability in the CE5 is their nascent financial systems and their ability to handle large and increasing volume of capital. As the experience of East Asia demonstrates, a high priority should be given to improving the quality and performance of the banking system.' - From 'Financial Integration, Vulnerabilities to Crisis, and EU Accession in Five Central European Countries' The objective of this study is to help assess the possible vulnerabilities in a number of Central European countries as they proceed with global financial integration and EU accession.

The study: - Discusses the context and presents a short description of the CE5 countries' experience in attracting capital flows - Analyzes the manifestations of vulnerability to financial crises and sustainability of foreign capital flows to the CE5 - Interprets the results and draws implications in view of the initial conditions of the various countries - Compares the EU accession of the CE5 to the Southern Mediterranean countries' accession to the EC in the 1980s - Draws conclusions and makes recommendations
