Estonia's value-added ICT sector leadership
Policies to diversify the economy into technology sectors pay off
•
A high sectoral diversification reduces the sensitivity of Estonia's
economic growth to idiosyncratic shocks
Despite its small size, Estonia has positioned itself as a hub for the
ICT services industry, whose share of real gross value added
increased to 8.0% in 2022 from 5.2% in 2013¹
Estonia's bet on digital transformation is already paying off, as it
ranks amongst the top ten countries on key digitalization indicators,
paving the way for greater productivity and economic flexibility
• Investments in technology are expected to be accelerated further
with the use of NGEU funds to support the digital transition
strategies contained in Estonia's Recovery and Resilience Plan
