OREANDA-NEWS. November 19, 2012. The European Commission's autumn forecast calls for 2.5 percent growth for the Estonian economy this year, 3.1 percent in 2013 and 4 percent in 2014.

The main factors for growth are high domestic demand and positive changes on the job market, the Commission said on November 7. The 2.5 percent figure would put the country first in the EU in terms of growth.

"Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have recovered well from the crisis four years ago and have become the countries with the highest economic growth in the European Union," said EC Vice President Olli Rehn on ERR radio.
