The economy is expected to have expanded in annual terms in Q3 after nine consecutive quarters of contractions. That said, available data paints a mixed picture. On the one hand, merchandise exports rebounded notably in July–August from Q2’s drop, hinting at fading headwinds to external demand. On the other hand, industrial production fell at a steeper pace in the same two-month period from Q2, dented by a faster deterioration in manufacturing output. Moreover, in Q3, inflation averaged above Q2’s level, and consumer sentiment weakened further, boding ill for private consumption in the quarter; retail sales contracted again in July–August. In other news, Estonia and Finland recently sealed an agreement to boost the surveillance of underwater energy-supply infrastructures, boding well for energy security.
