Labor productivity and external competitiveness have weakened. Growth in 2016 is estimated at only 1.3 percent, driven mainly by private consumption on the back of strong wage growth in a tightening labor market. Exports are gradually recovering, but investment continues to contract. Import growth is accordingly low, keeping the current account in small surplus. Inflation rose moderately to about 1 percent. The economy should gradually strengthen going forward, as the external environment improves and existing pro-growth policies come to fruition. Growth is projected at 2.3 percent and 2.8 percent for 2017 and 2018, respectively. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2017/009 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aStatistics$2imf 606 $aProduction and Operations Management$2imf 606 $aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics: General$2imf 606 $aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology$2imf 606 $aComputer Programs: Other$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aCorporate crime$2imf 606 $awhite-collar crime$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aProductivity$2imf 606 $aLabor costs$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aProduction$2imf 606 $aIndustrial productivity$2imf 606 $aLabor economics$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 607 $aEstonia$xEconomic conditions 607 $aEstonia, Republic of$2imf 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aStatistics 615 7$aProduction and Operations Management 615 7$aWages, Compensation, and Labor Costs: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aLabor Economics: General 615 7$aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology 615 7$aComputer Programs: Other 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aCorporate crime 615 7$awhite-collar crime 615 7$aWages 615 7$aProductivity 615 7$aLabor costs 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aProduction 615 7$aIndustrial productivity 615 7$aLabor economics 615 7$aDebts, Public 676 $a330.94741085 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162925103321 996 $aRepublic of Estonia$93418902 997 $aUNINA
