Abstract

Background: Stock market contagion in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the years 2020–2021 is investigated.

Research purpose: The article evaluates the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as stock and currency market uncertainty on the scale of contagion.

Conclusions: Stock and currency market uncertainty strongly affected the shock transmission mechanism. Categories associated with the coronavirus pandemic were also important drivers of the shock transmission mechanism.
