Tallinn, Estonian economy to grow 2 pct this year

Estonian economy to grow 2 pct this year

If in the fall SEB Pank held out a forecast of 0.3 percent decline in Estonia's gross domestic product (GDP) for 2010, then in an estimate published on Tuesday the bank predicts 2 percent growth for the economy instead.

"If Estonia joins the eurozone, the economy will grow 5 percent next year," SEB analyst Hardo Pajula said when presenting the fresh forecast.

He added that if Estonia fails to adopt the euro, the economy will remain on a downward path.

As the main reason that could prevent the arrival of the euro, Pajula named the ongoing developments with regard to Greece. Pajula said that right now, accession to the eurozone is rather a matter of political choice. Pajula observed that the upgrade in Estonia's economic growth forecast was made at the initiative of Sweden.
