The worsening performance in industrial output indicates increasing challenges for the Estonian economy as external and domestic pressures continue to escalate. The latest figures signify a troubling trend, raising concerns among policymakers and investors about the resilience of the country's industrial sector amidst a global economic slowdown.
This year-over-year comparison elucidates the gravity of the situation, highlighting that the decline from June to July this year marks a significant exacerbation.
