Estonia acquired its nation status initially in 1918 and a parliamentary republic was formed. In 1940 Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union and then in 1941 by Nazi Germany. In September 1944, the German forces left and Estonia was again occupied by the Soviet Union. In 1991 the Republic of Estonia was restored as an independent country on the basis of the 1938 constitution. The public approved a new constitution in 1992 which established a parliamentary government with a President as Head of State and a government headed by a Prime Minister.
The Parliament is a unicameral legislative body which initiates and approves legislation sponsored by the Prime Minister who has full responsibility and control over his cabinet. The President is elected by Parliament for a five-year term. The Prime Minister is the head of government and is chosen by the President and conferred by Parliament.
Estonia is a recent member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the population enjoys the benefits of a high-income modern market economy which has increasingly strong economic ties with Western Europe, including the pegging of its currency to the euro. It joined the European Union in 2004. The economy has had high GDP growth in recent years, at around 10% per annum. There is a great degree of economic mobility and technological advancement. The state of the economy is greatly influenced by developments in its Western neighbours, Finland, Sweden, and Germany, its three major trading partners.
The Soviet Union’s annexation of Estonia in 1940 and the ensuing Nazi and Soviet destruction during World War II crippled the Estonian economy. Post-war, the Soviet collectivisation of the economy continued with the integration of Estonia's economy and industry into that of the Soviet Union’s centrally planned structure. Most of Estonian farms were collectivized. Moscow expanded those Estonian industries which had locally available raw materials.
Since the later independence in 1992, Estonia has modelled itself as “The Gateway” between East and West and has aggressively pursued economic reform and integration with the West. The country now boasts a balanced fiscal budget with almost non-existent public debt and a flat rate of income tax. There is a free trade regime in place and a fully convertible currency backed by the Currency Board with a strong peg to the euro. There is a competitive commercial banking sector and a hospitable environment for foreign investment. Innovative web-based and mobile-based services are hallmarks of Estonia's free-market-based economy.
The privatization of state-owned firms has largely been completed. Estonia's intellectual property laws match those of Europe.
Estonia is nearly energy-independent, supplying over 90% of its domestic electricity needs from locally-sourced oil shale with the balance coming from alternative energy sources such as wood, peat, and biomass. Estonia imports needed refined petroleum products from both Western Europe and from Russia.
Oil shale energy, telecommunications, textiles, chemical products, banking, services, food and fishing, timber, shipbuilding, electronics, and transportation are key sectors of the economy.
