Elections in Central and Eastern Europe
Several upcoming elections across the CEE region may meaningfully shape the policy environment and influence investor sentiment over the next one to two years.
Hungary, Latvia and Slovenia will all hold parliamentary elections in 2026, each carrying the potential for shifts in fiscal priorities, regulatory direction and alignment with EU policies. Bosnia and Herzegovina will also hold general elections in 2026, an event the market is likely to monitor with heightened caution. In Poland, a parliamentary election must take place by 2027; while this still appears distant, its market relevance is expected to increase toward the end of 2026 as investors begin positioning for either policy continuity or potential change in the region’s largest economy.
Overall, although none of these elections necessarily signal abrupt shifts, the political calendar remains an important source of event risk—one that may temporarily elevate volatility while also creating selective opportunities as policy trajectories become clearer.
