Monetary policy
- Price Stability
  Price stability means low but stable inflation. This helps people and companies make economically sound decisions in their plans for the future and their salary requests, creating the right conditions for economic growth.
- The functioning of monetary policy
  Only the central bank can create and issue currency. By changing the price of the money borrowed by the commercial banks and the amounts they can take, the central bank can affect the conditions for loans taken by people and companies. In this way the central bank can affect inflation.
- Transmission mechanism
  When the central bank changes the prices and amounts of money the commercial banks can borrow, the effect is passed on into the economy as a whole, and particularly into prices. The monetary policy transmission mechanism is the various channels by which the central bank’s actions are passed into the economy.
- Operational framework
  The central banks of the euro area act to meet the goals of the single euro-area monetary policy in a decentralised way, doing so within the agreed solutions and principles that together are called the operational framework.
- Central bank reserves
  For people to have faith in a currency, the value and stability of that currency must be backed up, and this is done with the reserves of the central banks. Currency reserves have a key role in maintaining confidence in the economy and in supporting the stability of the financial system.
- Estonian Economy and Monetary Policy
  Estonian Economy and Monetary Policy gives a comprehensive overview of the economy and an economic forecast. It is published four times a year.
- Estonian Competitiveness Report
  The Estonian Competitiveness Report is published once a year. Competitiveness is analysed through Estonian export capacity (relative productivity growth, changes in export indicators and similar) and relative price and cost competitiveness indicators.
- Labour Market Review
  The Labour Market Review discusses the most important trends in the Estonian labour market, labour supply and demand, institutional developments of the labour market, and other related issues. The review is published twice a year.
Financial stability
- Analysis of financial stability
  Eesti Pank regularly analyses the functioning of the financial system and gives an opinion on financial stability, or how the banks are coping in general and what possible risks they may face.
- Macroprudential policy
  The financial system needs to be strong and able to stand up to risks. This is why Eesti Pank has taken various measures such as requiring additional buffers from the banks and setting restrictions that the banks must adhere to when issuing mortgages.
- Crisis management
  Even when preventative work has been done well, failures can arise in the banking system at speed, passing on into the economy and potentially causing wider damage in society. Eesti Pank, the Financial Supervision Authority and the government work together to resolve financial crises.
- Cooperation
  Eesti Pank works closely with partners in Estonia, within the European Union and with Finland, Sweden and Denmark as the home countries of the banks operating in Estonia to ensure financial stability.
- Single banking supervision in Europe
  Central supervision of the largest banks in the euro area helps make sure that the banks are all analysed and assessed in the same way and that the risk assessments use a similar base. This then helps make all of the banking sector in the euro area more credible.
- Financial Stability Review
  The Financial Stability Review is the main output of the financial stability analysis conducted by Eesti Pank. The review includes also the central bank’s assessment to Estonian financial stability and covers related policy measures. The Financial Stability Review is published twice a year.
- Financing of the Economy
  The review of financing and lending in the Estonian non-financial sector covers banking and leasing statistics, financial accounts analysis and credit supply and demand. It is published once a year.
- The Structure of the Estonian Financial Sector
  The Structure of the Estonian Financial Sector discusses factors that affect the architecture and design of the financial sector in Estonia. It provides a background for understanding the development trends and risks described in the Financial Stability Review.

- Commemorative and collector coins
  Collector coins are legal tender, but their high value means they are more usually used as souvenirs and collectors items than as circulation coins. €2 commemorative coins are special circulation coins with a special design on the national side in commemoration of a particular event or topic.
- Counterfeits
  Anybody can verify the authenticity of a banknote easily if there is a suspicion that it is counterfeit by just feeling it, looking at it and tilting it, checking the security features, or comparing it to an authentic banknote. If it is suspected that a banknote is counterfeit, the police should be informed.

  Companies can return banknotes into circulation only once the notes have been tested to European standards. Companies can test cash using specially designed devices or, if they do not have any, manually.
