Insufficient data.

Economic views are critical of ideological climate policy, which raises energy prices and is considered disconnected from common sense. Emphasis is placed on the need for people in state economic institutions who possess common sense and are in touch with reality, citing the Bank of Estonia's flawed personnel policy and failed forecasts.

Not enough data

The focus is on budget priorities and favoring domestic financing, while criticizing the channeling of state funds into foreign aid (Ukraine homes) at a time when benefits are being taken away from Estonian families. It is noted that inflation is reducing the real value of the money directed towards the cultural sector. Furthermore, the inclusion of green transition measures in the development plan is criticized, given the lack of actual funding for their implementation.

Economic views support major public investments in infrastructure, prioritizing the construction of four-lane highways and asserting that the state has the necessary funds available. This indicates support for growth-oriented spending, contrasting it with spending on "nonsense."

Economic perspectives emphasize fiscal responsibility and the necessity of state budget savings. The speaker supports the draft bill, arguing that its only financial impact would be cost reduction, and criticizes the opposition for financial inconsistency.

Strongly opposes tax hikes (VAT, income tax, excise duties, car tax) and increasing the debt burden, accusing the government of driving the state budget into deficit. It advocates for developing the economy as a whole (heavy industry, low energy prices) as the main source of revenue, rather than taxing people. It criticizes the government's priorities, which direct hundreds of millions into bureaucracy, green utopian schemes, and Rail Baltic, while leaving families without necessary support.

Data on economic positions (taxes, budget, regulations) are lacking.

Economic views stress the protection of state property and are vehemently against loss-making privatizations (Operail, Nordica). Tax increases are criticized, with this being linked to the incompetent handling of state finances and the funneling of money abroad. Accountability is demanded for the economic damage caused to the state.
