	Investing in Estonia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Rising far above her new European neighbours in terms of infrastructure and growth, Estonia is fast becoming the Baltic’s very own ‘Tiger’ economy with a healthy growth rate of 5.5% in 2004.

		Estonia's future is definitely bright and the roar of the 'Baltic Tiger' may well echo the roar of the 'Celtic Tiger' that saw property prices in Ireland increase by 187% between 1997 and 2004, the highest increase in Europe.

		Founded in 1999, the Baltic Management Institute (BMI) is a kind of an "Academic Airbus" on a small scale.
