At a regular meeting of the Supervisory Board of Eesti Pank this week, the Board confirmed the usual strategy for profit distribution, whereby the central bank gives the state between 0 and 25% of its profit from the previous year.

The Supervisory Board will start to discuss the distribution of Eesti Pank's profit for 2025 at its next meeting on 24 March. Since 1992 Eesti Pank has allocated a total of 192 million euros to the state budget.

The Supervisory Board decided for the profit distribution strategy that the relative level of Eesti Pank’s capital should increase to the average level of the central banks of the euro area, as the balance of risks to the capital of the Eurosystem as a whole is considered when joint monetary policy decisions are made. The ratio of Eesti Pank’s increased capital to the risk assets used for monetary policy is one of the lowest of any of the central banks of the euro area.

Governor Madis Müller also gave the Board a regular review of the economy in the euro area and Estonia. Taavi Raudsaar, economist at Eesti Pank, presented to the Supervisory Board the review on the financing of the economy ahead of its publication on 27 February.

The Supervisory Board approved amendments to the statutes of the Estonian Fiscal Council, bringing them into line with the amendments to the State Budget Act that the parliament adopted at the end of last year.

The Board also held a first reading of the central bank’s annual report for last year and the report on the Supervisory Board’s activities in 2025.
