The Central Bank of Estonia released its flash estimate of the monthly balance of payments for the last month but one, reporting that exports and imports of goods and services increased rapidly in December. The bank noted that the quarterly balance of payments is compiled from a combined system of representative primary data sources, including company surveys, while the monthly balance of payments draws on a much smaller database using available administrative sources and reports on international payments, making it an estimate that is partly subjective. Monthly balance of payments figures are adjusted once the quarterly statistics are released. The balance of payments for the fourth quarter of 2025 is scheduled for publication on 11 March 2026.
