Automotive Industry in Southeast Europe | 2020 edition

The automotive industry is one of the biggest growth drivers and contributors to GDP in each of the eleven countries in the region of Southeast Eruope (SEE). In 2020, it faced its biggest stress test – the COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented lockdowns that paralysed economic activity globally.

hardest-hit.
