### Summary findings
- Estonia experienced a period of unprecedented growth since the mid-1990s.
- Between 1995 and 2005, Estonia’s real GDP per capita rose by an average of 6½ percent a year, exceeding the annual growth rates of all other countries in the EU.
- The impressive growth performance is partly explained by the recovery from the immediate post-central planning drop in output.
