Dwindling external demand remarkably reduces the Estonian growth expectations for 2012. However, the strong increase in employment of 2011 brings about real wage growth and hitherto domestic demand to back the business cycle. Thus, the current account turns into deficit again. An upswing of GDP growth in 2013 to 2014 is likely but depends strongly upon a revival in the Scandinavian region.
