By Plenary Sessions: Aleksei Jevgrafov

Economic viewpoints center on achieving a balance between job creation and job loss, alongside the responsible utilization of national and European funds (ÕÜF). There is a demand for clarity regarding whether the newly created positions will be sufficient to offset the jobs lost, both directly and indirectly, as a result of the transition. Emphasis is placed on fiscal responsibility and ensuring the funds are used for their intended purpose.

Economic perspectives point to the necessity of increasing public expenditure in the social sphere to ensure healthy nutrition for children and improve the birth rate. Specifically, it is stressed that current funding (for example, 1–4 euros per school lunch) is inadequate to guarantee quality.

Economic views stress the necessity of protecting low-income earners from inflation and advocate for a rapid increase in social benefits (the subsistence level). A connection is seen between the rise in the minimum wage and the subsistence level, favoring greater government intervention in income redistribution.

Economic views are linked to concerns that the draft bill may focus too heavily on businesses, overlooking the economic well-being of ordinary residents. It is demanded that every government initiative ensures the welfare of the residents of Estonia.
