Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic announced in 2020 has spread worldwide. Its enormous scale, speed of its spread, extraordinary complexity and the resulting uncertainty and interdependence of these phenomena have become a precedent in the modern economy of Central and Eastern Europe. Many sectors and economic activities in the region have been adversely influenced by the effects of the pandemic. There was a dramatic decline in economic growth, especially in industrial and agricultural production, as well as a drop in consumer spending, investments, trade and employment. In the area of finance, a decline has been observed in stock exchange quotations, international capital flows and the value of national currencies. The crisis triggered by the pandemic significantly affected the economic activity of enterprises from this region. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many sectors, one of which is the energy sector. It caused demand and supply shocks in the energy resources market. This influenced changes in the model of energy consumption and distribution, while also influencing changes in energy balance. The purpose of the Special Issue is to collect results of research and empirical studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and energy markets in Central and Eastern Europe.
