Key events in EMEA and Latam next week

A relatively quiet week ahead in the EMEA and Latam region, but keep an eye on unemployment figures from Hungary and Poland, as well as GDP figures out of Mexico

Poland: Solid retail sales may not be enough to curtail the 4Q slowdown

We expect solid retail sales growth in October, despite a mounting number of Covid-19 cases in Poland.
