Raimund Hagelberg

Raimund Hagelberg (7 February 1927 – 17 July 2012) was an Estonian economist and professor. He was elected a member of the Estonian Academy of Sciences in 1981 and served as the academy's scientific secretary-general from 1982 to 1989.

In the restored Republic of Estonia, he served in central-bank governance at the re-established Bank of Estonia and was later described by the bank as one of the ideologists of Estonia's 1992 monetary reform.

Early life and education Hagelberg was born in Tallinn.

His name appears on official Bank of Estonia] documentation for early kroon banknotes: the Bank's security-features PDF for the 1-kroon banknote (1992) lists the signatures as Governor Rein Otsason and (as translated in the document) "Member of the Board" Raimund Hagelberg.

In 2000, Eesti Pank's English-language chronicle notes that Hagelberg (an adviser to the central bank) received the first Eesti Pank pension for merits and that the Order of the National Coat of Arms (Class III) was awarded to him as a long-time central-bank leader and one of the ideologists of the 1992 monetary reform.
