IMF Survey: Baltic Countries See Strong Growth, but Pitfalls Remain
May 8, 2014--Credit revival essential to sustained growth
Design of appropriate policies can help secure export growth
Reducing high unemployment requires structural changes
The Baltic economies performed well in the last two decades relative to other transition and emerging market economies, but they face common obstacles to continued strong economic growth.
The IMF's latest report on the economies of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania calls for policy measures to help resuscitate credit growth, maintain strong export growth, and address certain issues in the labor market. According to the report, coordinated national and regional policy responses will help the countries sustain economic growth going forward, particularly in light of their membership (or prospective membership) in the euro area.
