Facts

Economy
A robust but vulnerable economy. Poorest EU nation, but fastest economic growth in the EU for several years running. Also has highest inflation in EU, a dangerously high external debt and trade deficit. A lack of natural resources has forced Latvia to develop - faster than other former Soviet states - and industrialized economy and a liberalized, privatized market economy. But the growing gap between rich and poor is a major issue.
