It’s the euro zone Jim, but not as we know it.
Sixteen months after it joined the
struggling currency bloc, Estonia is booming. The economy grew 7.6 percent last

country with a budget surplus. National debt is just 6 percent of GDP, compared

cutting-edge tech firms complain they can’t find people to fill their job
vacancies.
