Sluggish demand developments in the Scandinavian neighbourhood reduce the growth expectations
for the Estonian economy for 2013. Public investment in transport and energy infrastructure trig-
gered the revival in 2012 but will be reduced this year and thereafter. The improving situation on the
labour market has allowed real wages to grow and will thus bolster household consumption devel-
opments in 2013 and 2014.
