Vulnerable countries An international stimulus: all countries equally affected Macro-economic: a crisis of banks, ministries of finance But vulnerability differs: CEE 10/ Northern 11/Med 6 Vulnerable people Micro-level: poor people, indebted people. All countries have some vulnerable and some secure people but proportions differ.

If people are vulnerable, they are worse off. H 3. If people live in poor countries, they are worse off. H 4. If people live in vulnerable countries, they are worse off.
