The European Commission forecasts Estonia's economic growth next year at 1.1%. Moreover, by the end of 2024, a decrease of 1% is expected, which informs ERR.EE .
The European Commission's forecast is more pessimistic than in the spring, when European commissioners predicted a decrease in Estonia's GDP by 0.5% this year, but growth by 3.1% next year. The reason is the reduction in consumption and the decline in exports.
Real GDP is expected to return to growth in 2025 due to a moderate recovery in consumption and investment, as well as stronger external demand, which will be facilitated by stronger economic growth from key trading partners.
