Economic recovery to be more subdued than expected in Estonia
Bank of Estonia revises 2026 growth forecast down to 2.8 percent due to energy crisis and inflation
The Bank of Estonia has cut its 2026 economic growth forecast from 3.6 percent to 2.8 percent, citing faster price increases, slower growth in purchasing power, and heightened uncertainty linked to the energy crisis. The central bank warns that public debt is growing rapidly and may pose longer‑term risks to fiscal sustainability, especially against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions and energy‑market volatility. The energy crisis and associated price pressures are expected to weigh on consumption and investment, making the recovery more subdued than previously anticipated.
