What did the Estonian government do? Budget cuts began in mid-2008 and, in February, May and June 2009, more extensive cuts were needed, because economic growth turned out to be much worse than forecast. Although the Republic of Estonia had reserves, there was fear that these might run out if the economic crisis continued.
Mida siis Eesti valitsus tegi? Eelarvekärbetega alustati 2008. aasta keskel, 2009. aasta veebruaris ja mais-juunis tehti järgmised ulatuslikud kärped, kuna majandusarengud osutusid prognoositust oluliselt halvemaks.
