As a European Green Capital 2023, Tallinn has a unique momentum to set the foundations for its transition from a linear to a circular economy. The newly created Circular Economy Department in the city administration is a signal of this transformation. The city conceives the circular economy as a means to advance environmental goals while generating opportunities for job creation and stimulating innovation through a systems approach. This report summarises the findings from a 20-month policy dialogue between the OECD, the city of Tallinn and stakeholders from public, private and non-profit sectors. It provides the main components of existing circular economy initiatives promoted in Estonia and in the city of Tallinn, key challenges and policy recommendations to help the city develop its long-term vision on the circular economy, setting targets for the future.

The State of Health in the EU country profiles provide a concise and policy-relevant overview of health and health systems in all EU countries, Iceland and Norway, emphasising the particular characteristics and challenges in each country. They are designed to create a means of mutual learning and voluntary exchanges that support the efforts of countries in their evidence-based policy making. Each country profile provides a short synthesis of: the health status in the country; the determinants of health, focussing on behavioural risk factors; the organisation of the health system; and the effectiveness, accessibility and resilience of the health system. The profiles are the joint work of the OECD and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, in co-operation with the European Commission.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) regularly conducts in-depth peer reviews of the energy policies of its member countries. This process supports energy policy development and encourages the exchange of international best practices and experiences. This report on Estonia is the first since the country became the 29th member of the IEA in 2014. It discusses the energy challenges the country faces and recommends possible solutions to help it achieve a secure and sustainable energy future.

The 2023 Article IV Consultation discusses that after a swift rebound from the pandemic in 2021, Russia’s war on Ukraine has triggered a sharp and broad-based downturn for Estonia. Inflation has declined from a peak of 25 percent in August 2022 to 11.2 percent in May 2023, but it remains among the highest in the euro area.

Inflation in Estonia and the Baltics surged over 2021–22 and has been well above euro area average, against the backdrop of a sharp rise in global commodity prices. This paper conducts an empirical analysis of the inflation drivers in the three Baltic countries compared to the euro area. It finds that the passthrough to inflation from global commodity prices in Estonia has been higher than in the other Baltics and the euro area. While Estonia’s inflation has so far been largely driven by external factors, domestic factors such as wage growth also appear to be statistically significant drivers of prices of food and several services components of the CPI. The large size of the inflation surge calls for broad-based policy response to prevent an entrenching of high inflation and the associated economic consequences.
