| Economy overview :
| Estonia, as a new member of the World Trade Organization, is steadily moving toward a modern market economy with increasing ties to the West, including the pegging of its currency to the euro. The economy benefits from strong electronics and telecommunications sectors. Estonia has been invited to join the European Union and will do so in May 2004. The economy is greatly influenced by developments in Finland, Sweden, Russia, and Germany, four major trading partners. The high current account deficit remains a concern. However, the state budget enjoyed a surplus of $130 million in 2003. .

| Hymne :
| MU ISAMAA MU ÕNN JA RÕÕM
Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm,
kui kaunis oled sa !
Ei leia mina iial teal
see suure, laia ilma peal,
mis mul nii armas oleks ka,
kui sa, mu isamaa !
Sa oled mind ju sünnitand
ja üles kasvatand;
sind tänan mina alati
ja jään sull’ truuiks surmani,
mul kõige armsam oled sa,
mu kallis isamaa !
Su üle Jumal valvaku,
mu armas isamaa !
Ta olgu sinu kaitseja
ja võtku rohkest õnnista,
mis iial ette võtad sa,
mu kallis isamaa !
--------------------------------------
Traduction en Anglais par Jenny Wahl :
--------------------------------------
My native land, my joy, delight,
How fair thou art and bright !
And nowhere in the world all round
Can ever such a place be found
So well beloved as I love thee,
My native country dear !
My little cradle stood on thy soil,
Whose blessings case my toil.
With my last breath my thanks to thee,
For true to death I´ll ever be,
O worthy, most beloved and fine,
Thou, dearest country mine !
May God in Heaven thee defend,
My best, my dearest land !
May He be guard, may He be shield,
For ever may He bless and wield
O graciously all deeds of thine,
Thou dearest country mine !.
