The Central Bank of Estonia has published its monthly flash estimate of the balance of payments for the last month but one and directed readers to more detailed information on its website. The bank explained that the quarterly balance of payments is compiled from a combined system of representative primary data sources, including company surveys, while the monthly flash estimate relies on a smaller database and is therefore partly subjective. Monthly estimates use as much available data as possible, including administrative sources and international payments reports, and are adjusted once the quarterly balance of payments is released. The balance of payments for the second quarter of 2025 is scheduled for publication on 10 September 2025.
