Estonia's export market share has fallen sharply, signaling that exporters have difficulties to keep up with foreign competition.While the immediate cause of this decline can be traced back to an adverse combination of external shocks triggered by the war in Ukraine, signs of faltering export performance surfaced already in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, and thus predate recent shocks.Using a constant share decomposition, this paper shows that, unlike in Latvia and Lithuania, a significant portion of the decline in Estonia's export share can be attributed to the 'intensive margin', i.e., a shrinking share of Estonia's exports in the main destination markets-a sign of weakening external competitiveness and declining relative productivity.
