Abstract

[eng] Challenges of accession : Estonia . Estonia started the transition from a planned to a market economy in quite an unfavorable position. Following a clear rule-based monetary policy has been one central ingredient of the transition strategy in this « environment of change ». Although many other elements of economic restructuring probably carried a big part of the burden also, the monetary strategy has most likely been the single most important factor in anchoring the functioning of the market economy and supporting the stable framework for reallocation of resources and building up new private and public sector institutions. So, it is not surprising that the currency board framework has built up considerable legitimacy among the Estonian electorate. The only obvious alternative that seems to be accepted by the public today is to join the EMU. Bur Estonia must respects Maastricht criteria before joining the EMU and this implies many challenges. . JEL classifications : E42, F31, F36, P2 [fre] L'Estonie a commencé sa transition d'une économie planifiée à une économie de marché dans une position quelque peu défavorable. Le suivi d'une politique monétaire claire basée sur une règle définie a constitué un élément central de la stratégie de transition. Bien que beaucoup d'autres éléments de restructuration économique aient probablement porté une grande partie du fardeau, la stratégie monétaire a très certainement été le seul facteur déterminant dans l'ancrage du fonctionnement de l'économie de marché, dans le support d'un cadre stable pour la réallocation des ressources et dans la création de nouvelles institutions privées et publiques. Il n'est donc pas surprenant que le cadre du système de currency board se soit formé une légitimité considérable parmi l'électorat estonien. La seule alternative évidente qui semble être acceptée par le public aujourd'hui est de rejoindre l'UEM. Cependant, de nombreux défis restent à relever avant que l'Estonie ne respecte les critères de Maastricht. . Classification JEL : E42, F31, F36, P2
