Baltic States - Overview
The Baltic Republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania regained
their independence in 1991 after the break-up of the USSR and
joined the enlarged EU in 2004.
The three Baltic countries continue to register strong economic
growth, outpacing the rate of growth in the Central European Region
and the EU-27 with a broad based growth and GDP annual growth
rates exceeding 7%.
The rapid development of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia has been
achieved by a willingness to pursue changes towards a market economy
from the very first days of their independence.
