The legislative focus is on the regulation and security of the financial sector, including subjecting the activities of credit unions to financial supervision. Important topics also include improving competition in the home loan market (e.g., abolishing the requirement for notarized certification) and establishing the rounding rule for one- and two-cent coins, which entered into force at the beginning of 2025.

The legislative focus is on the follow-up control of previous Riigikogu decisions (the assignment of new supervisory tasks). The priority areas are the processes of bringing the operating licenses of crypto-asset market participants and the activities of credit institutions into compliance with legislation.

The primary legislative focus centers on restructuring the operations of credit unions to guarantee deposit protection and oversight by the Financial Supervisory Authority. The speaker is the representative of the leading committee for this bill and a strong advocate, with the objective of compelling deposit-taking cooperatives to transition into banks by 2029.
