From 1992 to 1993, Sutt was the Chief Specialist of Eesti Pank's Central Bank Policy Department.[2] From 1993 to 1996, the Deputy Head of the Banking Supervision Department, and from 1997 to 1999 Deputy Head of the Central Bank Policy Department.[2] From 1999 until 2001, he was the Adviser to the Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Nordic-Baltic Constituency and Member of the Board of Directors from 2009 until 2012.
